Spirituality in social work practice
Recent scholarship questions the concept of practitioners addressing spirituality in social work practice arguing, for instance, that social workers should not conduct spiritual assessments. 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…
Introduction to the Special Issue ‘Spirituality, Resilience, and Posttraumatic Growth’
Spirituality is increasingly recognized as a vital aspect of human experience across the lifespan, contributing to positive development, well-being, resilience, and strength, and uniquely facilitating posttraumatic growth (PTG) [...]
A Spiritually Integrated Approach to Trauma, Grief, and Loss
Exposure to trauma, grief, and loss (TGL) can elicit spiritual pondering and meaning making, which can manifest as unsettled spiritual rumination or evolve into spiritual growth and transcendence. Incorporating a spiritually informed approach with TGL survivors invites spiritual interaction between the individual and professional helper to move beyond the trauma story and influences toward hope and possibility. This approach benefits survivors an…
The Clinical Utility of Spirituality and Religion in Meaning-Making Theory for Suicide Loss Survivors
In the case of violent/traumatic loss due to a completed suicide, there can be an overwhelming and complicated grief reaction followed by a spiritual need for the process of sense making and finding meaning. Some emerging literature on suicide loss survivors (SLSs) denotes that suicide loss is more similar to other forms of bereavement but is uniquely characterized by high levels of shame, guilt, self-blame, and stigma. This article examines them…
Effects of Child Sexual Abuse on the Parenting of Male Survivors
Research shows that child sexual abuse (CSA) can have detrimental effects on adult functioning. While much research regarding the effects of CSA on parenting of mothers is available, there is a dearth of information on how CSA impacts fatherhood. This literature review finds that the parenting experiences of male survivors are characterized by self-perceptions as adequate parents, deficient parenting as measured by standardized instruments, conce…
Developing and Implementing Peer-Led Intervention to Support Staff in Long-Term Care Homes Manage Grief
Front-line staff in long-term care (LTC) homes often form strong emotional bonds with residents. When residents die, staffs’ grief often goes unattended, and may result in disenfranchised grief. The aim of this article is to develop, implement, and assess the benefits of a peer-led debriefing intervention to help staff manage their grief and provide LTC homes an organizational approach to support them. This research was nested within a 5-year par…
Conclusion
Research and practice evidence supports growing opinion that spirituality is an important component of human life across the lifespan. While emerging work is beginning to shed light on the importan
Faith-Based Trauma Intervention
A traumatic event can occur at any point in an adolescent’s life. Yet, research suggests that the negative impact of a traumatic event on adolescent’s well-being can be minimized with timely and effective intervention. Careful review of the trauma literature identifies the significance of both community and faith-based intervention in positive post-traumatic recovery. A link has been identified between the use of Christian strategies and a decrea…
Introduction
In the field of social work, there is an increased interest in the role of spirituality in mental health and well-being across the lifespan and across contexts. A richer understanding of spirituali
Engagement strategies and change
In order to engage mothers who are victims of domestic abuse, the child welfare worker needs to be challenged to develop an intentional practice response that includes knowledge and skill concerning the complexities of domestic violence, as well as the process of change. Developing a supportive relationship, understanding the stages of change (SOC) and engaging mothers as leaders in the change process are essential to successful child protection …
Spirituality and Transcendent Meaning Making
Traditionally, in the field of trauma, the emphasis has been on loss and suffering rather than growth and possibility. While the experience of loss and suffering is true for many trauma survivors, especially during the initial phase of trauma exposure, recent research has demonstrated that sole concentration on these constructs is ineffective in promoting growth and understanding. This article focuses on the benefits of attention to the spiritual…
