Humanistic and Spiritual Approaches as Solutions for Spiritual Recovery

Abstract

Mental health is an important issue in modern life that is increasingly complex and stressful. This article examines humanistic and spirituality approaches as holistic and meaningful solutions to mental health recovery. The humanistic approach emphasizes respect for potential, freedom, and individual responsibility in the recovery process, while the spirituality approach focuses on the search for the meaning of life, transcendental connections, and divine values. The combination of these two approaches is considered capable of providing mental recovery that is not only physical and psychological, but also touches the existential dimension of human beings. This article uses a literature study method that analyzes various humanistic psychology literature and the concept of spirituality in the context of mental health. The results of the study show that the integration of humanistic and spiritual approaches can increase psychological resilience, reduce symptoms of mental disorders, and strengthen the meaning of individual life. By positioning humans as whole physical, psychological, and spiritual beings, this approach opens up space for mental recovery that is more personalized, reflective, and transformative. This article recommends the application of this integrative approach in mental health services, both in clinical practice and community interventions, to address the increasingly complex mental health challenges in the modern era.
