Spirituality and religion are fundamental to all human cultures.
Yet in the helping professions, whose shared objective is to
promote human well being, questions of spirituality have often been
avoided. Now we are increasingly realising that scientific
materialism and individuality have failed to meet enduring human
needs for meaning and connection. Evidence mounts for the
importance of spirituality for prevention and intervention in times
of crisis, distress and illness. Many professionals find themselves
ill-prepared to respond to the spiritual needs of their clients,
and to negotiate encounters with people from unfamiliar faith
traditions. Spirited Practices shows how it is possible for
professionals to think critically, and be open to spirituality at
the same time. Professionals and teachers from diverse faiths and
fields of work, including social work, health, psychology and
ministry explain how they have integrated spirituality into their
work. Spirited Practices is inspiring reading for anyone in the
helping professions seeking to develop a spiritually aware
practice. 'It invites us to look honestly at ourselves and our own
practices through learning about those from other professional and
faith backgrounds.' Richard Hugman, Professor of Social Work,
University of NSW 'A much needed forum for practitioners from
diverse professional and spiritual backgrounds to address the
challenges and rewards of spiritually-sensitive practice.' Leola
Dyrud Furman, Associate Professor Emeritus of Social Work,
University of North Dakota
