Description
Summary:Scholarly literature continues to address spirituality and family therapy. Yet, spirituality has not gained a foothold for many researchers and, hence, has struggled to define itself in peer-reviewed literature. As scholars learn more about recognizing spirituality and its place in family therapy, perhaps results from this learning will honor spirituality in humans' relationships and lives. Then researchers, educators, and practitioners may add to their dialogue about how spirituality influences what they do. Hopefully, this dialogue will lead to two things: (a) a collective action that provides better service to readers of research, students, and clients; and (b) a collective action that allows professionals to better care for themselves.
