Using case studies and examples from everyday situations, such as end of life decisions, conjoined twins, heart conditions, social work, mental health and emergency care practice, the author provides a practical framework for incorporating spirituality into ethical decision-making and care.This book will encourage and inspire social workers, healthcare professionals and church pastoral practitioners.; Introduction. 1.
