Description

Social work in modern society requires practitioners to be culturally and spiritually sensitive. This book explores the often challenging relationships between spirituality, religion, and social work. It considers the skills, knowledge, and values that are required to incorporate a spiritual awareness into social work practice and, in doing so, it explores in greater depth the social worker / service user relationship. By using case studies, reflective exercises, and other learning features, social work students will begin to appreciate and understand the importance of a spiritually sensitive approach to their social work practice.
