"Over the past ten years, the fields of social work and education have grappled separately with definitions of spirituality, with ways to integrate spirituality into the classroom, and with the rendering of spirituality as a meaningful concept for practitioners, students, and researchers. But social work and education have many commonalities in areas of engagement with children, families, and communities. For the first time, this book brings together these two professional disciplines for interdisciplinary discussions that advance our knowledge in the broad area of "spirituality." The book's three sections reflect broad topic areas created to facilitate dialogue between the contributors, all of whom have established expertise in exploring spirituality in both fields. The first section of the book explores the historical and theoretical underpinnings of spirituality in education and social work. Examination of our respective heritages uncovers the religious roots within our professions and reveals a present understanding of spirituality that calls for active engagement in challenging oppression and working toward social justice. The second section shifts the focus to the pedagogical implications of incorporating spirituality into higher-education classrooms. The differing levels of acceptance and the tensions that come from including spirituality, implicitly or explicitly, in the programs and coursework in our respective faculties are illuminated by authors in both professions. The final section explores issues related to practicing and teaching in the field from a spiritually sensitive perspective."--Publisher's website.

Social Work in Africa offers professors, students, and practitioners insight concerning social work in the African context. Its purpose is to encourage examination of the social work curriculum and to demonstrate practical ways to make it more culturally relevant.Drawing on her experience as a social work instructor in Ghana with field research conducted for her doctoral thesis, author Linda Kreitzer addresses the history of social work in African countries, the hegemony of western knowledge in the field, and the need for culturally and regionally informed teaching resources and programs. Guided by a strong sense of her limitations and responsibilities as a privileged outsider and a belief that "only Ghanaians can critically look at and decide on a culturally relevant curriculum for themselves," Kreitzer utilizes Participatory Action Research methodology to successfully move the topic of culturally relevant practices from rhetoric to demonstration. Social Work in Africa is aimed at programs and practise in Ghana; at the same time, it is intended as a framework for the creation of culturally relevant social work curricula in other African countries and other contexts.

Het boek behandelt het spanningsveld tussen de instrumenteel-technische functie van het sociaal werk enerzijds en vraagstukken over normativiteit anderzijds. De technische functie verwijst naar de deskundigheidsontwikkeling van de sociaal werker waarbij de methodische expertise centraal staat. De vraag "doen wij de dingen goed?" staat hierbij centraal. De normatieve professionaliteit vraagt van sociaal werkers voortdurende reflectie op hun maatschappelijke rol, op de uitgangsprincipes van het sociaal werk en de praktische invulling ervan. De focus ligt op de vraag: "doen wij de goede dingen?"Vaak worden beide opvattingen als tegengesteld gezien, zowel in de praktijk van het sociaal werk als in de opleiding. Maar beide opvattingen over professionaliteit sluiten elkaar niet uit. Het is dus geen tegenstelling, maar een spanning die binnen sociale werkpraktijken tot uiting komt. Anders gezegd, de twee benaderingen komen geïntegreerd samen in de uitdrukking: "we moeten niet alleen de dingen goed doen, maar ook de goede dingen doen".Dit boek legt de eigenheden van het sociaal werk bloot om ze zo als aangrijpingspunt te nemen voor een dialoog. Een dialoog tussen de praktijk, de sector, de wetenschap en de opleiding. Het is géén handleiding noch een kookrecept, maar een uitnodiging om verhalen te vertellen. Het wil ook een pleidooi zijn om op basis van die verhalen 'het sociale' van het sociaal werk blijvend in vraag te stellen en mee vorm te geven
