Jo-Ann Vis is an associate professor in the School of Social Work at Lakehead University.

"In social work, spirituality has grown markedly as a topic of practical and scholarly concern. This book highlights various practice-relevant clinical aspects of spirituality in professional social work practice. Featuring contributions from emerging and established Canadian authors, this book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and practitioners alike."

Beth Crisp, Professor in the School of Health and Social Development, Deakin University:

"This is a refreshing new take for the social work literature in the field of spirituality. There is no disputing that Heather Boynton and Jo-Ann Vis are acquainted with the trauma literature and I commend the authors for their innovative approach. This volume will be of interest to social work practitioners."
