The present book is the first work to highlight Catherine Doherty's vocation to spiritual motherhood. Drawing upon primary archival sources, the author traces Catherine's development as a staritsa, or spiritual mother in the Russian-Eastern tradition. Of particular interest are the chapters dealing with Catherine's exercise of spiritual motherhood for priests and laity alike. Previously unpublished letters of spiritual direction between Catherine and her major spiritual directors offer the reader a privileged glimpse into the soul of this servant of God and her spiritual children, as she grows in her vocation as staritsa. For example, in one striking letter, Catherine describes how she guided a disillusioned young priest who was struggling with a drinking problem and temptations involving young women, and was bordering on despair: "With clenched teeth I sailed into him, first gently, almost caressingly calling him back to Christ he once loved, then more sternly, then quietly. . . . He left full of thanks and some hope . . . ."

This singular reference explores religion and spirituality as a vital, though often misconstrued, lens for building better understanding of and empathy with clients. A diverse palette of faiths and traditions is compared and contrasted (occasionally with secularism), focusing on areas of belief that may inspire, comfort, or trouble clients, including health and illness, mental illness, healing, coping, forgiveness, family, inclusion, and death. From assessment and intervention planning to conducting research, these chapters guide professionals in supporting and assisting clients without minimizing or overstating their beliefs. In addition, the book’s progression of ideas takes readers beyond the well-known concept of cultural competence to model a larger and more meaningful cultural safety. Among the topics included in the Handbook: Integrating religion and spirituality into social work practice. Cultural humility, cultural safety, and beyond: new understandings and implications for social work. Healing traditions, religion/spirituality, and health. Diagnosis: religious/spiritual experience or mental illness? Understandings of dying, death, and mourning. (Re)building bridges in and with family and community. Ethical issues in conducting research on religion and spirituality. The Handbook of Religion and Spirituality in Social Work Practice and Research is a richly-textured resource for social workers and mental health professionals engaged in clinical practice and/or research seeking to gain varied perspectives on how the religion and spirituality of their clients/research participants may inform their work.

This is the first book to treat the impact of religious, philosophical and psychological traditions of the East on Western intellectuals, artists, travellers and spiritual seekers in the twentieth century. Addressed to both general readers and scholars of religion, it is especially valuable for its penetrating and inter-religious analysis of two of the most compelling themes now facing the world: the emergence of cross-cultural religious understanding of the natural order and ecological crisis and the metaphysical basis for both the formal diversity and essential unity of religious traditions of both East and West. The West has long romanticized the "mysterious" East, but it has, also, judged its traditions as "uncivilized." Our notions about Eastern spirituality have been formed by a succession of travellers, scientists, artists, intellectuals, poets, philosophers and missionaries, as well as by Eastern travellers who have spent time in the West. This book helps us to recognize the influence of Eastern ideas upon modern Western thought by tracing the history of engagements between East and West up until the present day. It concludes with a section that helps us to perceive the timeless value of the many Eastern contributions to the West's current intellectual and spiritual state.

1.1 An introduction to Workplace Spirituality Spirituality in the workplace has been receiving increasing attention in literature since the 1990’s. Several popular books on spirituality and leadership (Conger, 1994; Bolman & Deal, 1995; Crossman, 2015), spirituality and ethics (Ayoun, Rowe & Yassine, 2015) spirituality and entrepreneurship (Chappell, 1994; Cohen & Greenfield, 1997), spirituality and service (Gatling, 2015) have also been published. In 1999 the Academy of Management established a special interest group ‘Management, Spirituality and Religion’ which subsequently developed a large membership. Several academic journals, such as the Journal of Adult Development (2002), Journal of Organizational Change Management (2003), Journal of Management Inquiry (2005), and The Leadership Quarterly (2005), have dedicated special issues to the theme of spirituality. The Journal of Management, Spirituality and Religion was created in 2004, specifically tailored to publishing scholarly work in the area of workplace spirituality, an emerging area in organization and management studies. April 2014, Barcelona, saw a World Congress on Spirituality and Creativity in Management and several organizations are offering corporate workshops, seminars, and culture transformation programs aimed at holistically harnessing both the spirit and the body of employees (ET, 2011; The Telegraph, 2015).Globally, companies are embracing the endeavor to gain competitive advantage through what could be understood as the appropriation of workplace spirituality (Lips-Wiersma et al., 2009). By addressing employees as complete humans, i.e. the recognition of their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs (Dehler &Welsh 2003) organizations can open themselves to transformation. Fry (2003) stated that if organizations are to improve their effectiveness, then, spiritual leadership must be understood for its capability to increase the intrinsic motivation of men by recognizing and incorporating the three elements of humans: body, mind, and spirit. Fry and colleagues, moreover, claim to have established empirically that practitioners of spirituality at the workplace will experience greater psychological and physical well-being (Fry, 2003).
