An Approach to Psychological Counseling from a Religious Worldview

Author: Ginalber L. O. Serra

Published in: Journal of Religion and Health | Issue 2/2023

Abstract

This article investigates counseling in a religious context while keeping human subjects’ existential realities in mind. The methodology, which combines Theology and Psychology, aims to provide an alternative approach to religious counseling by overcoming religious counselors’ tendency to limit human suffering to “spiritual symptoms” by utilizing religious cosmovisions structured in pre-established concepts and values. Furthermore, the approach focuses on the development of human subjects in terms of their quality of life through the spiritual and mental health pillars.
