SOSYAL ÇALIŞMA UYGULAMALARINDA MANEVİ DEĞERLENDİRMENİN YERİ VE ÖNEMİ: DAVİD R. HODGE’IN ÇALIŞMALARI ÇERÇEVESİNDE GENEL BİR BAKIŞ

Sosyal çalışma disiplini ve mesleğinde, maneviyata duyarlı müdahale yaklaşımları, son otuz yıldır artan şekilde ilgi çekmektedir. Bu ilgi son yıllarda ülkemize de yansımıştır. Ancak ülkemizde, müracaatçı maneviyatını odak alarak yapılacak müdahalelerde, manevi değerlendirmenin gerekliliği hakkında bugüne kadar yapılmış herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Oysa ki, sosyal çalışmada, maneviyata duyarlı müdahaleler, müracaatçının karşı karşıya olduğu sorunlarla başa çıkmada etkili olacağı düşünülen manevi destek kaynaklarının, müracaatçı yararına sunulmasını amaçlayan bütüncül bir yaklaşımın ürünüdür. Bu yaklaşımda, müracaatçının sosyal işlevselliğinin sağlanması amacına yönelik olarak, daha önceki sorunlarını çözmesinde yarar sağlayan her türlü güç ve kaynağın, müracaatçı ile birlikte keşfedilmesi ve işe koşulması gereklidir. Bu nedenle, manevi değerlendirme, hem müracaatçının maneviyata yönelimini ve bu yönelimin kaynağını ve derecesini belirleme; hem de sorun çözümünde manevi güçlerini ortaya çıkarma ve kullanma için gereklidir. Bu bağlamda, bu makalenin temel amacı, maneviyat odaklı sosyal çalışma müdahalelerinde, müracaatçı maneviyatına duyarlı bir yaklaşım için, değerlendirmede dikkat edilecek noktaları açıklığa kavuşturmak ve ülkemiz uygulamaları için öneriler geliştirmektir

The Role and Importance of Spiritual Assessment in Social Work Practices: An Overview within the Framework of David R. Hodge’s Studies

There is a growing interest in spiritually sensitive social work intervention approaches over the last 30 years within the social work profession and discipline. This subject started to arouse interest recently in Turkey as well. Yet, in our country, there has not been any study on the necessity of spiritual evaluation in the interventions to be made while focusing on clients’ spirituality. However, in social work, spirituallysensitive interventions are considered within a holistic approach that aims to provide the sources of spiritual support that are thought to be effective in dealing with the problems that the clients are experiencing. In this approach, it is vital to discover and make use of the strengths and resources of the clients which they used for their previous problems with the purpose of increasing social functionality. Therefore, the spiritual assessment is necessary since it determines both the orientation of the client to spirituality, the source and degree of this orientation; as well as reveals and makes use of the spiritual strengths in solving problems. In this context, the main purpose of this article is to clarify the factors to be considered in the assessment and to offer suggestions for the applications of spiritually sensitive social work in Turkey.
