Aptariamos aktualios dvasingumo traktuotės, dvasinio ir psichologi nio konsultavimo bruožai, dvasinio asistavimo kristocentriškumo svarba. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: dvasingumas, dvasinis asistavimas, dvasinis konsultavimas. [Iš leidinio]

ENSeeking to maintain the personality’s harmony and spiritual health, it is important to have an integral view of both psychological and religious dimensions while coping with these problems. Such perspective stimulates turning to Christian assistance whose relevance can significantly contribute to keeping spiritual balance, self-value, sense and dignity, which are basic features of a human being as a spiritual person. Spiritual counselling and assistance are one of the forms of the mentioned support that started being recognised in laws of the Republic of Lithuania (order of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Lithuania, “On Provision of Pastoral Care Services at Health Care Institutions” (2009); decree of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania “On Approval of the Basic Package of Services for a Family” (2019)) and gradually is becoming established as practice of support in various realities of life. Nevertheless, still discussions occur on conceptual aspects, terminology or definition of the said support. With regard to this, the aim of this article to reveal the features of Christian spiritual assistance in the context of the concept of spirituality and its relationship with psychological support is raised. To achieve this aim, the following research methods have been employed: literature analysis, systematisation, interpretation. The research results demonstrate that the concept of spirituality in different contexts and theories may be treated in different ways; however, regardless of this, it is always directed towards areas of meaning, goal and direction of life. The concept of spirituality is characteristic of multiple aspects; therefore, it is important to identify the features of Christian spirituality. God is the centre, object and aim of Christian spirituality that manifests in per sonal life of a human.Therefore, Christian spirituality is Christ-centred and human’s interpersonal life with God. The concept of spiritual assistance has notions of spiritual and psychological counselling, complex psychological support intertwined. The principles of Christian teaching and morality being kept by a spiritual assistant while counselling is a distinctive feature making it different from psychological counselling based on the secular method for solving psychological problems. The relationship of serving not only spiritually and corporally suffering individuals, but also a continuous relationship with God is the most important measure of spiritual assistance. Spiritual assistance is an important factor of spiritual support in the context of holistic assistance because it is based on the Christ-centred principle, treats support for a particular person as assurance of comprehensive condition of spiritual, physical, psychological and social wellbeing. Keywords: spirituality, spiritual assistance, spiritual counseling. [From the publication]
