Popis: | © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Quality of life is an important and successful concept in the support of people with intellectual disabilities. Nevertheless, the concept pays no attention to spirituality. This contribution aims at integrating spirituality into quality of life. First, the dominant approach of quality of life, excluding spirituality, is described and discussed. Then, two alternative approaches that integrate spirituality are presented—one based on existential philosophy and another on relational personalism. The last model enables a description of the various dimensions of the human person, including spirituality, with elements of the person’s life story, as a basis for an assessment of quality of life. ispartof: Journal of Religion, Disability & Health vol:18 issue:4 pages:303-317 status: published |
