Ann M. Callahan is professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville College of Social Work. She has a license in clinical social work with more than twenty years of social work related clinical, administrative, and teaching experience. For the past ten years, she has been researching the spiritual dimensions of the therapeutic relationship in an effort to inform quality hospice social work.
Spirituality frequently becomes more salient as clients approach death. Spiritual needs, for instance, often become more acute. Yet relatively little guidance exists on this critical topic. This important new textaddresses this gap in the literature and equips social work practitioners and other hospice workers to navigate the often difficult process of providing spiritual care in hospice settings. Indeed, anyone involved in end-of-life care will likely benefit from this significant contribution. -- David R. Hodge, Arizona State University Callahan's Spirituality in Hospice Social Work is a scholarly yet practical resource for social workers to better recognize and attend to the spiritual needs and distresses of patients suffering from chronic health conditions. This book integrates research and practicality, and provides ways for social workers to facilitate and enhance interprofessional spiritual care while working with spiritual care professionals. The multidimensional systems and relational perspectives of social worker training enhances other clinical team members understanding and implementation of spiritual care, and is a valuable resource not only for social workers, but for other clinicians and students. -- Christina M. Puchalski, Director, George Washington Institute for Spirituality and Health
