Studying the Status of Spirituality in Major Models of Mental Health

The present article deals firstly with three previous models of 'health', challenged by emergence of a crisis in the sphere of health. The emergence of crises represent the proper time for coming to more advanced models of 'health'. Theoretical models of mental health, always ancillary to theoretical models of health, are also insufficient in explaining the related facts. Therefore, the scientific trend of psychology, with its negligence of spiritual dimensions in previous models of metal health, has been unable to be sufficient for describing, explaining and resolving the crises of mental health. Accordingly, it is necessary to establish a model with a consideration of spiritual dimensions. Of course, avoiding eclecticism and application of non-homogenous constructs inconsistent with spiritual dimensions, and paying attention to substantial difference between conceptions of 'soul', 'self', and 'spirit' are necessary.
