| Sumario: | The books "Pastoral Care and Intellectual Disability: A Person-Centered Approach" by Anna Katherine Shurley and "Disability and Spirituality: Recovering Wholeness" by William C. Gaventa provide timely resources for addressing spiritual supports and pastoral care practices for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Shurley emphasizes the importance of individualized care and collaborative relationships, while Gaventa explores the interconnections between disability and spirituality. Both authors challenge assumptions about disability and offer practical insights for caregivers and professionals. The books integrate psychological and pastoral care discourses and center narratives from people with disabilities and their loved ones. |
