  10. “Spiritualityand Mental Health” Spirituality is a unifying force of the person and the essence of being that permeates all life. It is the inter-connection with self, others, nature, God, life, force, absolute and transcendent. (Rego, A. C., 2007; Dossey, 2005; Narayanasamy, 1999; Goddard, 1995; Vaillot, 1970). Maria do Carmo Lemos Vieira Gouveia Amsterdam 3th November, 2011

  11. “Spiritualityand Mental Health” The complex world of values, the question about the ultimate meaning of things, the basic choices of life, the meaning and reason for existence, are key elements of the spiritual dimension.

  12. “Spiritualityand Mental Health” The realization of the meaning of life takes place in the transcendence of people to a "why to live”.
