| Abstract |
The NASW Code of Ethics requires social workers to be culturally competent in a number of areas, including competency regarding spirituality and religion. The author shares her students' perceptions and struggles, including their concerns about imposing values on others, fears of religious proselytizing, and confusion about the place of religion and spirituality in social work practice. The author includes her reactions and challenges as a faculty member seeking to develop this competence in her students. (Journal abstract.)
