“…However, from the 1920s to the 1970s, in the process of professionalising and secularising social work, spirituality gradually faded away from the scene of social work ( Nelson-Becker and Canda, 2008 ; McInnis-Dittrich, 2009 ; Canda and Furman, 2010 ). Dramatically, a renewed interest in spirituality has grown steadily in the social work profession since the 1980s, and spiritually sensitive social work practice is hitting its stride ( Bullis, 1996 ; Canda, 2005 ; Derezotes, 2006 ; Nelson-Becker and Canda, 2008 ; Lee et al , 2009 ; McInnis-Dittrich, 2009 ; Canda and Furman, 2010 ). This rapprochement with spirituality would deepen and enhance social work practice by, inter alia, promoting the holistic care of clients and synergising with the strengths-based approach to working with clients.…”
