This groundbreaking reference offers mental health professionals a
rigorous, nuanced guide to working with abuse survivors with
disabilities in religious communities. Expert contributors unravel
complex intersections of disability, religion, and identity in the
context of gender violence (including spotlights on racial, gender,
and sexual minorities, Deaf persons, and men), and offer
survivor-centered best practices for intervention. Chapters explore
how responses from clergy and other religious figures may sometimes
prevent survivors from seeking help, and how faith leaders can help
to empower survivors. The concepts and research presented here
support multiple purposes, from removing barriers to survivor
services to working with religious communities to be more inclusive
and transparent. Among the topics featured: From barriers to
belonging for people with disabilities: Promising pathways toward
inclusive ministry. Empowering women with intellectual disabilities
to resist abuse in interpersonal relationships. Race, culture, and
abuse of persons with disabilities. Ableist shame and disruptive
bodies: Survivorship at the intersection of queer, trans, and
disabled existence. From the narratives of survivors with
disabilities: Strengths and gaps between faith-based communities
and domestic violence shelters. Religion, Disability, and
Interpersonal Violence brings transformative insights to
psychologists, social workers, and mental health professionals
across disciplines providing guidance within religious and disabled
communities in their clinical practice. It also provides valuable
background for researchers seeking to examine the interface between
religious culture and the abuse of persons with disabilities.
