Abstract

The purpose of this review was to propose several issues of spirituality for the clinicians who try to apply spiritual elements in the mental health field. At first, spirituality was compared with religiousness and the concept of spirituality and its components were illuminated. Next, the main scales of spirituality were introduced and the considerations with regard to measuring spirituality were addressed. Then, two main mental health models(Medical/Disease Model, Positive Mental Heath Model) were explained and studies on the relationship between mental health and spirituality were addressed. Based on these respects, a few considerations about spirituality which should be pay attention in the mental health field were proposed.

본고의 목적은 그 동안 정신건강 분야에서 간과되어 왔던 영성을 조명하고 영성과 정신건강의 관계에 대해 개관함으로써 심리학자를 비롯한 정신건강전문가들이 정신건강 분야에서 내담자와 환자들을 위해 영성을 어떻게 이해하고 활용해야 하는지에 대해 방향을 제시하고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 영성을 종교성과 비교하고 영성의 구성요소를 살펴봄으로써 영성의 개념을 파악하였고 영성측정 시 고려해야 할 사항들과 함께 측정도구들을 소개하였다. 또한 대별되는 2가지 주요 정신건강 모델(의학/질병 모델과 긍정적 정신건강 모델)을 통해 정신건강의 개념을 살펴본 뒤, 영성과 정신건강의 관계에 대한 연구결과를 제시하였다. 끝으로 이와 같은 내용들을 바탕으로 정신건강전문가들이 정신건강을 향상시키는데 영성을 활용하기 위해 고려해야 할 점들을 제안하였다. 본고를 통해 정신건강 영역에서의 영성과 그와 관련된 주제들에 대한 긍정적인 관심이 증대되고 국내에서도 그와 관련된 연구와 개입의 시행이 보다 풍부해질 것을 기대한다.
