Recent evidence illustrates that religion and spirituality (R/S) positively contribute to mental health, with a specific focus on mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and meditation. These practices are increasingly recognized in clinical psychology for their mental health benefits. Key areas of application include trauma recovery, palliative care, and treatment of substance use disorders. Therapists can apply these spiritual interventions while remaining secular and ethically grounded, allowing effective support for clients regardless of their personal beliefs. The recognition of R/S competencies in psychology underscores the evolving landscape of therapeutic practices.
Spiritual practices, when integrated into mental health care, offer significant benefits, including trauma coping mechanisms and improved psychological resilience, even without shared beliefs.
Mindfulness-based interventions and meditation are at the forefront of research in spirituality's role in enhancing mental health, showing crucial psychobiological benefits.
