Spirituality in Mental Health Practice Summary

Spirituality in Mental Health Practice: A Narrative Casebook by Miriam Jaffe

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. The book offers a close examination of the limits of the medical model of care, making a case for a more spiritually sensitive practice. 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.

Suitable for students of social work and counseling at master's level, as well as practicing clinicians, Spirituality in Mental Health Practice is an essential text for widening our understanding of how spiritual frameworks can enrich mental health practice.

Spirituality in Mental Health Practice Reviews

"This carefully crafted book presents detailed narratives of spiritually sensitive clinical practice that stretch across various worldviews and life challenges of clients. It integrates professional knowledge and values with insights from the very personal spiritual journeys of the authors. Case presentations are matched with deep reflective questions and podcast interviews with professional helpers. Thus, this wise book encourages close, empathic listening and communicating, both within clinical encounters and in readers own personal and professional development." Edward R. Canda, PhD, professor, School of Social Welfare, The University of Kansas

"This beautiful book embraces the tensions that exist when doing clinical practice with spiritually diverse populations. Centering the stories of clinicians, students, and clients, the rich phenomenological narratives remind readers that storytelling and the art of listening are pathways to spiritually sensitive practice. The imagery and attention to the details of lived experiences and settings fertilize the ground for deepening empathy, creating more participatory forms of knowledge, and strengthening opportunities for transformational change." Loretta Pyles, PhD, professor, School of Social Welfare, State University of New York at Albany
