- Summary
- "There now appears to be consensus that there is a role for including spirituality in social work, and its necessity for working holistically with individuals, families, and communities. Yet, there is a gap in the area of spirituality and social work and its essential role in trauma and posttraumatic growth (PTG). This edited collection seeks to address that gap. Authors seek out unique circumstances throughout a client's lifecycle where trauma is experienced, how one's spirituality is awakened or activated and how this experience can intersect with interventions towards growth. It offers social workers insights into how to assess for spirituality. It also provides practical strategies on how spirituality and spiritual practices can be integrated into psychotherapeutic interventions at various levels of social work practice with diversity across the lifespan."--
