This article responds to these criticisms. Employing a modified domain-based review of the relevant literature, this article contends that addressing spirituality is an essential component of ethical and effective service provision. Findings To support the no…

Spiritually Sensitive Social Work with Victims of Natural Disasters and Terrorism
As a primary intervention, raising the topics of faith and religion with individuals traumatised by terrorism and/or natural disasters can be daunting for social workers, because victims often enter the helping relationship with feelings of helplessness, loss of personal control and of doubt about their relationships, environment, and their cultural and belief systems. Just as clients benefit from knowledge and awareness in the aftermath of a tra…
The Spiritual Developmental Process for People in Recovery from Severe Mental Illness
This article gives insights about the various ways that people with severe mental illnesses experience spiritual benefits and struggles in the context of their life journeys, and how these are navigated through time as part of a spiritual development process. Multiple in-depth interviews were conducted with 18 individuals with a range of diagnoses and spiritual affiliations receiving services at community mental health centers and consumer-run or…
Spiritual Strengths Assessment in Mental Health Practice
Proponents of recovery and strengths-based approaches recognise spirituality as an important factor in mental health recovery. Minimal guidance is available, however, for how to assess spirituality with people diagnosed with severe mental illnesses. To address this gap, six focus group interviews were conducted with a total of forty-eight community mental health service providers and users who have been involved in spiritual strengths assessment.…
Filial Piety and Care for Elders
Filial piety is a Confucian value common in East Asian societies and among Asian-Americans that sets an expectation for children to respect and care for aging parents. Within social work and gerontology literature, filial piety is contested as being a positive or negative influence on families and social welfare policy. However, there has not been a detailed examination of filial piety as presented in the Confucian philosophy that advocates it. A…

Comparing Rawlsian Justice and the Capabilities Approach to Justice from a Spiritually Sensitive Social Work Perspective
This article examines two social justice theories, Rawlsian Justice and the Capabilities Approach of Sen and Nussbaum, in relation to congruence with four principles of spiritually sensitive social work. We find that although Rawlsian justice has valuable insights, it has some gaps for promoting spiritually sensitive practice. In contrast, the Capabilities Approach bears more promise for promoting spiritually sensitive social work as it meets all…
A Comparative Survey of Aotearoa New Zealand and UK Social Workers on the Role of Religion and Spirituality in Practice
Increasingly, social work is being challenged to consider the role of spirituality and religion in practice and education as the profession has witnessed an expanding interest in the integration of spirituality, motivated by the recognition of spiritual diversity as an important component of human experience, cultural competency and anti-racist social work practice. In response to the lack of international empirical research in general, and relat…
Spirituality As a Strength of Afican‐American Women Affected by Welfare Reform

In order to deepen knowledge about how this works in people's daily lives, this qualitative study explored how a group of 44 African‐American women in a job readiness program located in a Midwestern urban area utilized spirituality as a s…

This article identifies the unique contributions social work has made to the study of spirituality and religion in relation to aging, based on respect for their diverse expressions.

Th…

UK workers were generally mor…

Revisioning Environment
Social work's notion of environment has always been unnecessarily restrictive. The profession has tended to either ignore the natural environment or accept a shallow ecological conceptualization of nature as something other, quite separate from human activity. Deep ecology offers social work an essentially different view of the person/environment construct and argues for a fundamental shift in the way humanity views its relationship with nature. …
