The Qur’ān provides insights into human nature, emotions, and moral frameworks which align with psychological principles. Nafs, a Qur’ānic term referring to the self, plays a vital role in Islāmic psycho-spirituality. To achieve this, Islāmic psychology emphasizes self-reflection, self-control, and self-improvement, among many other practices, similar to psychological principles. Understanding and purifying the nafs to its higher levels enables individuals to strive for moral excellence, personal growth, and a stronger connection with Allāh.KEYWORDS: NafsselfIslāmicpsychologyQur’ān Disclosure statementThe authors confirm that there are no relevant financial or non-financial competing interests to report.","PeriodicalId":51916,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135095378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Studying the images of <i>Nataraja</i> : how can religious art, theology, and neuropsychiatry inform one another?","authors":"Parameshwaran Ramakrishnan, Akhilesh Shukla","doi":"10.1080/19349637.2023.2263754","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19349637.2023.2263754","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe image of Nataraja is a storehouse of collective unconscious thoughts of the Indian psyche. Academicians and research scholars from around the world have extracted essentially and practically applicable derivations from several of those collective thoughts symbolically embedded in those images. This paper is a neuropsychiatric-therapy-oriented extraction of the symbolic representation of the relation of the Lord, His dance, and the dwarf devil, Apasmara, in the images of Nataraja. Ayurvedic physicians use this term Apasmara only as a diagnostic term for epilepsy, but semantic understanding of the term Apasmara, which in Sanskrit means forgetfulness or momentary loss of memory or consciousness, informs us that it can be used as a symptom/symptom-complex in various neuropsychiatric conditions. Such semantic understanding in conjunction with theological and clinical studies may help us extract Nataraja’s dance/Tandava (a mixed form of Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Odissi) as a therapeutic tool for promotion of prevention of various neuropsychiatric disorders.KEYWORDS: NatarajadanceBharatanatyamApasmaraforgetfulnessconsciousnessNeurologyPsychiatrymentalculturereligiontheologyspirituality AcknowledgmentsThe authors have no specific persons to acknowledge with regard to this paperDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.","PeriodicalId":51916,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135738791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Synchronicity as intimation of a non-dualistic cosmology for the mental health field","authors":"Tony B. Benning","doi":"10.1080/19349637.2023.2264826","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19349637.2023.2264826","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe growing interest in religion and spirituality in the mental health field has not resulted in the latter being relieved of the binary (dualistic) worldview by which it remains hamstrung. The phenomenon of synchronicity began to receive attention in the 1950s, thanks to the work of C.G. Jung and Wolfgang Pauli. The issue of the therapeutic significance of synchronicity has received widespread scholarly attention but its implications for the mental health field are not limited to the therapeutic realm. That is, synchronicity intimates a non-dualistic cosmology that could affect a transformation of the mental health field toward wholeness.KEYWORDS: synchronicitynon-dualistic cosmologyreligion/spiritualitymental health AcknowledgmentsI am grateful to Dr. Keiron Le Grice PhD from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California and to an anonymous reviewer for providing very helpful and constructive comments on earlier drafts of this paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. The specific term that Gebser used in The Ever Present Origin (Gebser, Citation1985) to describe such developments in western thought as quantum physics and Jungian psychology was “aperspectival manifestations” (p. 528/531). Aperperspectival manifestations (or irruptions) are said to afford a glimpse into a higher, transcendent consciousness, one that is anathema to ego-level, dualistic thinking. These glimpses portend a more pervasive shift in consciousness in the future.2. The extra-conceptual, extra-phenomenological quality of unus mundus is brought home in Dorn’s own definition of it as “the potential world of the first day of creation, when nothing was yet in ‘actu;’ i.e., divided into two and many, but was still one” (as cited in Jung, Citation1970, p. 534)., a definition that Jung himself draws on in Mysterium Conjunctionis (Jung, Citation1970). Le Mouël (Citation2021) reflects a similar idea in asserting that the fundamental idea represented by Dorn’s concept of unus mundus—is that of “the transcendental unity of all phenomena” (p. 437) while adding that the idea is not entirely new, and that it “can be found in wisdom traditions from all over the world” (p. 437).","PeriodicalId":51916,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136280325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A search of the published literature identified 05 empirical studies that reported links between religiosity and posttraumatic growth among sexual assault survivors. This review identified three main findings: an association between religiosity and PTG among sexual assault survivors. Second, religious and spiritual coping was found to be associated with the development of posttraumatic growth. Third, the traumatic experiences from sexual assault can lead to the deepening of religiosity/spirituality. Despite limited evidence, individual’s beliefs can impact posttrauma thriving.KEYWORDS: Sexual assaultsTraumaPTGreligiosityspirituality AcknowledgmentsThis is to acknowledge no financial interest or benefit arising from this research’s direct applications.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":51916,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136279822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An online survey administered to 350 never-married adults (Mage = 29.79; SD = 4.50), followed by in-depth interviews to 40 participants (Mage = 33.14; SD = 4.04) demonstrated that, unlike in many Western countries where the religion seems to be losing its role, In Indonesia, engaging in a nurturing spiritual relationship may assist unmarried individuals, especially those wishing to get married, to cope with societal and personal challenges of being single.","PeriodicalId":51916,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136191824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
