- Summary:
- Spirituality, Ethics and Care examines the relationship between spirituality and ethics, and offers practical guidance on how to integrate them in professional and voluntary care. The author argues that the strong connections between moral meaning and spirituality are often not reflected in health and social care literature. Using case studies and examples from everyday situations, such as end-of-life decisions, conjoined twins, heart conditions, social work, mental health and emergency care practice, the author provides a practical framework for incorporating spirituality into ethical decision-making and care. This book is essential reading for social workers, healthcare professionals and church pastoral practitioners.
