The Family, Spirituality, and Social Work

In The Family, Spirituality, and Social Work, you will come to recognize the enormous scope of spirituality and the degree to which your effectiveness as a social worker may be enhanced through its inclusion in your work with individuals and the families in which they live. A sourcebook for practitioners, it includes as broad a range of perspectives as possible from fundamentalist to transpersonal.
