Recenzii

This is a valuable resource on a dynamic social work practice concern, and should be on the shelf of every social work student and practitioner.
This scholarly and engaging text continues to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the benefits, challenges, and complexity of spiritually sensitive social work practice. The expanded content on macro practice and policy and the increased attention to international perspectives is particularly welcomed.
Ranging from narratives of personal challenge and transformation to international perspectives, it envisions a spiritually-integrated social work future. This comprehensive book will captivate every reader.
In the third edition of this groundbreaking book on spiritual diversity, the authors expand integration of an interdisciplinary, strengths-based and international perspective as well as provide explicit guidelines on assessment and practice that help social work professionals continue to expand our perspectives and skills in embracing spirituality in social work practice. This is a must read for social work professionals to embrace and appreciate differences within an inclusive perspective in an increasingly complex and diverse world.
The new edition of this groundbreaking book continues to deliver in its intelligence, heart, and practicality. Deeply grounded in an ethics of compassion, diversity, and social justice, the authors offer a comprehensive treatment of spiritually-sensitive social work practice employing empirical research, analysis, conceptual frameworks, and rich case studies. Their renewed emphasis on holistic self-care and healing justice provides an opportunity for social work students to draw from their whole selves in order to meet the whole selves of their clients.
This book by Edward Canda fits perfectly to the quest for conceptual, ethical and practice guidance on how to deliver spiritual social work in an ethnic, faith, and value system diverse society.
A new, updated edition of a modern classic in social work. With deep insight into the artistry of spirituality in social work practice and scholarship, this book is a must read for any practitioner, student, or scholar interested in learning about the importance of spirituality to social work. A tour de force!
An excellent book that creates a sound foundation for studying and utilizing the concept of spirituality in social work practice." - John Graham, the University of British Columbia
Canda and Furman's book is without a doubt the oldest and in many ways the best in terms of generalist social work practice at BSW and MSW levels. I was recently asked at our international conference in my Presidential Address for the Society for Spirituality and Social Work which book on spirituality and social work is best for undergraduates and the answer is clear; it's Canda and Furman's Spiritual Diversity in Social Work Practice." - Helen Land, University of Southern California
