Summary:

"This key text presents an accessible and diverse exploration of spirituality in mental health practice, broadening the definition of spirituality to comprise a variety of transcendent experiences. Chapters include a brief history of the tensions of spirituality in mental health practice and consider a range of emerging topics, from spirituality among the elderly and energy work (Reiki), to spirituality in addiction recovery, incarceration, and hospice work. Rich case examples are woven throughout and the book is paired with podcasts that can be applied across chapters, illuminating the narrative stories and building active listening and teaching skills"-- Provided by publisher.
