Suffering and pain are part of every human life, despite the fact that modern science has made enormous efforts to eliminate them. In this paper, we deal with the mystery of suffering from a philosophical and biblical point of view. We pay special attention to the thought message of P. Strauss, a Slovak doctor and convert, according to which pain is a part of the concept of life. The second part presents the practical-pastoral aspects of care for the sick and suffering. The Christian understanding of this care is about the realization of Christ’s power and love. At the same time, it is important to maintain sensitivity to the inner attitudes of the suffering person, his value equipment and religious beliefs.

The article seeks to address the importance of the spiritual dimension in people suffering from dementia (especially Alzheimer’s disease). Fulfilling spiritual needs is crucial for the good clinical condition of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. There are scholarly studies that show that different pastoral approaches, that focus on meeting the spiritual needs of the sick person, can improve the quality of life for people in early, mild, and even advanced stages of dementia. The article also highlights the theological and anthropological dimensions of the life of those suffering from dementia. It seeks to capture the implications of the disease for both the person with dementia and for pastoral work with them.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the sociological literature on pharmaceuticalisation and see how sociology helps us understand and explain the phenomenon. We then discuss how sociology, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries, defines the process of pharmaceuticalisation and how this last is evolving. The paper points out that, while medicalisation remains a key concept for health sociology, it is increasingly being queried and/or extended to allow for a techno-scientific era of biomedicalisation (Clarke et al. 2003) and to acknowledge the importance of the pharmaceutical industry in this process (Williams, Martin and Gabe 2011a, 2011b). Particular attention will be paid to the process of pharmaceuticalisation as brought about not just by doctors and their prescriptions, but by the central role of pharmaceutical promoters and the marketing of drugs.
