- Abstract
- This book collects multiple disciplinary voices which explore current research and perspectives to discuss how sprirituality is understood, interpreted and applied in a range of contexts. It addresses sprirituality in combination with such topics as Christian mysiticism, childhood and adolescent education, midwifery, and sustainability. It links spirituality to a variety of disciplines, including cognitive neuroscience, sociology, and psychology. Finally, it discusses the application of spirituality within the context of social work, teaching, health care, and occupational therapy. A final chapter provides an analytical discussion of the different voices that appear in the book and offers a holistic description of spirituality which has the potential to bring some unity to the meaning, expression and practice of spirituality across a variety of disciplines as well as across cultural, religious and secular worldviews.
