Naveed Ahmed Khan

For most of the history of psychology and psychiatry, there has been a focus on the negative aspects of mental health, involving the diagnosing and treating of diseases and disorders. In recent years, there has been a move toward “Positive Psychology,” that (as the name implies) focuses on the positive aspects of mental health. Psychological changes and symptoms, throughout the life span are seen as having the potential for positive growth that can be incorporated into a treatment process rather than pathologic process, that needs to be eliminated or suppressed. Additionally, over the past few decades, practitioners has experienced people who may not have a clinical diagnosis yet they feel there is something which is “missing” in their lives.s

For too long, mind and body were considered separate entities, but great strides have been made in the past few decades  to recognize the interconnections between mind and body ih respect health and disease. However, many practitioners are still neglecting the third entity—the role of spirituality in health and healing. The recent research indicates that spirituality plays a significant role in health and longevity
