Abstract

Modern psychiatry has neglected the spiritual dimension of the human mind and the teleologic concept of illness as meaningful sufferings by clinging to the traditional causality principle and rationalistic orientations without clarifying the concepts of religion, spirituality, culture, and mental health. The Jungian viewpoint may bridge the age-old gap in the West between belief and science.
