Abstract
ABSTRACT The assertions outlined throughout this article are intrinsic to the “search for meaning” as centrality of human nature. The approach consists of a systematic study from the theoretical link Religion-Philosophy-Psychology underlying the spirituality and religiosity of the counselees in their way they manifest themselves in the sense of existing in relation with reality. It consists of a psycho-religious counseling, which can be useful to be applied to any religion, based on the phenomenological method and existential analysis, taking into account the ontological specificities of the counselees, so that they can actively reach a “meaning of being.” A didactic example of case study is presented to illustrate its usefulness for the Christian religion context.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health is an interdisciplinary professional journal (retiled from American Journal of Pastoral Counseling to better reflect its broader scope) that is devoted to the scholarly study of spirituality as a resource for counseling and psychotherapeutic disciplines. This peer-reviewed quarterly journal seeks to enhance the understanding of spirituality as a core component of human well-being in individual, relational, and communal life. Leading authorities provide insights into research and effective therapy in an interdisciplinary dialog that crosses the disciplines of psychology, spirituality, theology, sociology, cultural analysis, and other fields.
