RELIGIOUS OR SPIRITUAL PROBLEM? THE CLINICAL RELEVANCE OF IDENTIFYING AND MEASURING SPIRITUAL EMERGENCY
2019
Overview
Given the expanding number of positive health benefits associated with healthy religiousness and spirituality, facilitating this potential outcome for those experiencing more pathological forms of religiousness and spirituality should be of paramount importance to mental health professionals. To briefly summarize, recent reviews suggest there are demonstrated links between religiousness and spirituality and improved mental health and wellbeing (see Koenig, 2015; Koenig, King, & Carson, 2012; Paloutzian & Park, 2013; Pargament, Mahoney, Exline, Jones, & Shafranske, 2013), including attachment security (Granqvist & Kirkpatrick, 2013), self-control (McCullogh & Willoughby, 2009), happiness and positive emotions (Abu-Raiya & Agbaria, 2015), greater meaning in life (Park, Edmondson, & Hale-Smith, 2013), lower levels of depression and anxiety (Hood, Hill, & Spilka, 2009), self-actualization and personal growth (Ivtzan, Chan, Gardner, & Prashar, 2013). Possible factors mediating the relationships between religiousness and spirituality and improved health outcomes include positive affect (Holt et al., 2011), forgiveness (Lawler-Rowe, 2010), social support and self-control (Abu-Raiya, Hamama, & Fokra, 2015), cognitive reappraisal (Dezutter, Wachholtz, & Corveleyn, 2011) and cognitive-behavioral mechanisms (James & Wells, 2003). The findings also illustrate some of the positive physical and psychological health benefits associated with healthy expressions of religiousness and spirituality, and the need for further exploration of religious and spiritual problems that may contribute to less favorable health outcomes.
