Religiosity and Spirituality

This chapter discusses religiosity/spirituality in the context of case formulation from an evolutionary perspective. It is developed as an intersubjective domain of knowledge to consider in understanding and possible interventions in various psychological problems through two axes of analysis: Existential Tension and Dysfunctional Religious Attachment. In addition, “religiosity/spirituality” is a powerful source of knowledge that translates into motivation, clarification, creation of meaning, and strength for people to face the multiple adversities of life.
