ABSTRACT

It is increasingly recognised that spirituality is an important dimension of human existence that frequently intersects service provision (Hodge 2015a). For example, a substantial and growing body of research indicates that spirituality tends to facilitate health and wellness (Koenig et al. 2012; Koenig and Shohaib 2014). As a result, social work practitioners frequently seek to identify and operationalise clients’ spiritual assets to help them cope with, and overcome, the challenges they face.
