This paper has presented an overview of the literature about the relationship between the spirituality and mental health. Although some limitations of the methodology and the interpretation of result findings, overall conclusion is that spirituality can be beneficial for the development and maintenance of mental health. The main themes that have arisen with regard to the benefits of spirituality are presented in Table. The actual mechanisms through which the benefits of spirituality are acquired are diverse and complex. Continuing research within this area should be required. Also, some new developed issues, such as ’superempirical’ questions, quantum physics and the healing power of prayer, researching prayer, are introduced. The author wishes this paper can provide a useful foundation for models of informed spiritual care.
