About the book

This publication is intended for professionals in the field of meaning-making and aims to contribute to their reflection on their practice. Using case studies as a starting point, emerging professionals in particular can further develop their dialogical and hermeneutic competencies.

The focus is on the dimension of meaning in communication: how do you gain insight into the other person’s process of finding meaning, how do you listen in a way that helps the other person emerge, how do you gain insight into the influence of your own actions in that process, and how do you learn from practice as a professional so that you can provide appropriate (spiritual) care and contribute to expanding the inner space of others?

With contributions from: Gertie Blaauwendraad, Nicolette Hijweege, Gaby Jacobs, Hans Kling, Marjolein Kraaijeveld-Melse, Hanneke Muthert, Erik Olsman, Hanneke Schaap-Jonker, Michael Scherer-Rath, Wim Smeets, Marije Stegenga, Annemarieke van der Woude, Annemarie van der Vegt en Edwin van der Zande.
