Critical spirituality is a way of naming a desire to work with what
is meaningful in the context of enabling a socially just, diverse
and inclusive society. Critical spirituality means seeing people
holistically, seeking to understand where they are coming from and
what matters to them at a fundamental level; the level that is part
of the everyday but also transcends it. What is important in
critical spirituality is to combine a postmodern valuing of
individual experience of spirituality with all its diversity with a
critical perspective that asserts the importance of living
harmoniously and respectfully at an individual, family and
community level. Human service professionals currently wrestle with
the gradually increasing expectation to work with spirituality
often without feeling capable of undertaking such practice. Some
work with people experiencing major trauma or change such as
palliative care or rehabilitation where people ask meaning of life
questions to which they feel ill equipped to respond. Others work
with individuals, families and communities experiencing conflict
about spiritual issues. Increased migration and movement of
refugees increases contact with people for whom spirituality is
central. Such experiences raise a number of issues for existing
professionals as well as students: what do we mean by spiritual?
How does this relate to religion? How do we work with the spiritual
in ways that recognise and value difference, without accepting
abusive relationships? What are the limits to spiritual tolerance,
if any? This book explores these issues and addresses the dilemmas
and challenges experienced by professionals. It also provides a
number of practical tools such as possible questions to ask to
assess for spiritual issues; to see spirituality as part of a web
of relationships.
