Spiritualitas dan Dimensi Transendensi dalam Kesehatan Mental
Keywords:
spirituality, transcendence, mental health, transpersonal psychology
Abstract
Mental health in contemporary psychology increasingly demonstrates its limitations when understood solely through a symptomatic and mechanistic approach. Various studies indicate that the dimensions of meaning, values, and inner experience play a significant role in shaping an individual's psychological well-being. This article aims to systematically examine the role of spirituality and the dimension of transcendence in mental health through a critical literature review of 40 relevant scientific publications. The method used is a literature review with a conceptual analysis approach and thematic synthesis of literature on psychology, transpersonal psychology, faith-based psychology, and interdisciplinary mental health studies. The results of the study indicate that spirituality functions as a psychological resource that provides a framework for meaning, values, and an adaptive orientation to life, while transcendence acts as an experiential dimension that enables individuals to transcend ego-boundedness and existential distress. The integration of these two dimensions contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of mental health, focusing not only on the reduction of psychological symptoms but also on growth, self-acceptance, and long-term mental resilience. This research confirms that approaches to mental health that ignore spirituality and transcendence have the potential to produce a partial understanding, especially in the context of religious and multicultural societies. These conceptual findings are expected to form the basis for developing empirical research and mental health interventions that are more humanistic, contextual, and sensitive to the dimensions of meaning in life.
