Benson ab: The social work profession and allied helping professions have increasingly recognized that spiritually-based assessment and helping practices may play an important role for many clients when coping with life’s challenges and working towards self-realization. Since most American social workers affiliate with a Christian denomination, it is especially important to explore the attitudes of Christian social workers regarding the use of spiritually-based assessment and helping practices. This study explores these attitudes by analyzing cross-sectional survey data from two independent samples of practicing social workers derived from the membership lists of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) in 1997 and 2008, respectively. Overall, 2008 Christian respondents were less likely than 1997 Christian respondents to believe that it is appropriate to raise the topic of spirituality with all client issues. Christian respondents in both 1997 and 2008, however, reported high levels of utilization and ethical approval for spiritually-based helping practices. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
