| Summary: | The relationship between psychiatry and spirituality, particularly in organised religion, has been a controversial one. However, in recent years, the association has slowly transformed into an increasingly positive bond. Yet, one of the world’s newest independent religions—the Bahá’í Faith—is mostly unknown to many clinicians. This is particularly important because the Bahá’í Faith embraces a modern view of mental health consistent with traditional and contemporary psychiatric practice. In this article, the importance of spiritualism to mental health is briefly discussed before transitioning to an introduction of the Bahá’í Faith and the relevance of particular Bahá’í tenets to issues in psychiatric care. |
