A diverse palette of faiths and traditions is compared and contrasted (occasionally with secularism), focusing on areas of belief that may inspire, comfort, or trouble clients, including health and illness, mental illness, healing, coping, forgiveness, family, inclusion, and death. From assessment and intervention planning to conducting research, these chapters guide professionals in supporting and assisting clients without minimizing or overstating their beliefs. In addition, the book’s progression of ideas takes readers beyond the well-known concept of cultural competence to model a larger and more meaningful cultural safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics included in the \u003ci\u003eHandbook:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrating religion and spirituality into social work practice. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultural humility, cultural safety, and beyond: new understandings and implications for social work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealing traditions, religion\/spirituality, and health.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagnosis: religious\/spiritual experience or mental illness?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstandings of dying, death, and mourning. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Re)building bridges in and with family and community.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEthical issues in conducting research on religion and spirituality.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Religion and Spirituality in Social Work Practice and Research \u003c\/i\u003eis a richly-textured resource for social workers and mental health professionals engaged in clinical practice and\/or research seeking to gain varied perspectives on how the religion and spirituality of their clients\/research participants may inform their work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-03-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493978427\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-7039-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 397\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385387802764,"sku":"9781493978427","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493978427.jpg?v=1778000523","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781493978427","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
