ZUSAMMENFASSUNGAusgehend von der Wiederentdeckung religiös-spiritueller Therapieansätze stellt der Aufsatz die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen eines religionssensiblen Vorgehens in der Psychotherapie dar. Vor allem buddhistische Ansätze sind weit verbreitet, deren weltanschaulichen Grundlagen jedoch zu wenig reflektiert und kommuniziert werden. Es werden Merkmale einer religiös-spirituellen Grundhaltung beschrieben, die am Beispiel buddhistischer, islamischer und christlicher Ansätze verdeutlicht werden. Der Aufsatz plädiert für eine Grundhaltung der Offenheit bei gleichzeitiger Berücksichtigung der Behandlungsziele. Psychotherapeutische und spirituelle Behandlungsziele werden dabei unterschieden und letztere der Seelsorge zugewiesen.

“…Spending months in quarantine with shelter-in-place restrictions and precautions provided many people with a lot of time for reflection and discernment. Without the prepandemic distractions of busy life activities, travel, and active engagement with the world at large, having time alone, or with only immediate family or “podmates,” offered an opportunity for ongoing reflection about all sorts of matters and led to a variety of contemplative and meditative practices for many (Plante, 2017). In multiple ways, many people were on retreat or lived contemplative monastic lives for months.…”

While the COVID-19 global pandemic has wrecked havoc for over a year in ways that we have not seen in our lifetimes, many important positive lessons have been learned during these tumultuous and what has felt like apocalyptic times. Upon close reflection, four critical and positive lessons were learned by this author that have implications for how we productively move forward in our efforts to provide spiritually and religiously informed psychotherapy services both now and in the future. These important lessons include the benefits of telehealth and "telespirit" services as well as highlighting the advantages of reflection, discernment, and resetting our life priorities. Although the pandemic took many lives and created economic chaos for countless people across the globe, several positive developments emerged that will provide an opportunity for better spiritually informed clinical practice in the future.

The great wisdom traditions associated with various religious and spiritual practices and institutions have offered a variety of helpful strategies for more effective living and coping with life's many challenges. In most recent times, efforts to secularize these strategies have been made in order to appeal to the general population as well as to secular mental health professionals as tools for their clinical practices. While mindfulness meditation and yoga are perhaps the most notable examples, many other intervention strategies have been and can be borrowed from various religious and spiritual traditions to use in a secular manner if so desired. In this brief reflection, the wisdom and a few of the strategies of St. Ignatius, the founder of the Roman Catholic religious order called the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, are offered with examples presented in and for clinical practice.
