This chapter will present a multi-perspectival approach to spirituality which enables healthcare staff to work effectively within the realm of the spiritual in its plurality. It will focus on three approaches to spirituality: generic, biological and religious, offering an overview of each and pointing to some of the implications for theory and practice. The intention is to present a critical framework of approaches to spirituality that will lay a foundation for the various forms of assessment that are outlined in this book.
