REIS, Marfiza T. Ramalho. Spirituality and healing – The connection of psyche and matter. Junguiana [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.2, pp.93-104.  Epub 06-Dez-2024. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v41i2.39.

Considering the psyche-soma connection, the author cries to understand the phenomena of health and healing in different cultures and theoretical approaches. The author shows how through the ages healing practices and rituals have developed to deal with illness; and, how cultures have oscillated between reductionism and holism in their medical practices. The holistic perspective, known as "systemic", is stressed to show that health implicates physical, psychological and social aspects. Based on the premises of analytical psychology the article concludes that illness must have sense (telos) and healing is reached when the spiritual element has been included in the individuation process.

Palavras-chave : analytical psychology; illness; healing; spirituality.
