Psycho-religious counseling approach towards the existential “meaning of being”

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.
