The importance of spiritual church care in psychiatry

Abstract

The story of man, reflected in the book by Italian writer Collodi "Pinocchio" ("Pinocchio"), does not have the necessary happy ending. In Pinocchio's adventures, the following two endings are possible: either Pinocchio accepts Malvina's help and turns into a real person, finally resembling "Daddy Carlo", or like Harlequin, he could be irreversibly transformed into an animal. On the other hand, Pinocchio may receive salvation that exceeds human understanding and expectations, or may end up in complete oblivion.

We will divide our report into two parts:

1. Motives for the Church's presence in psychiatry;

2. An attempt to identify pastoral care.

The first part will be more theological, and the second will be more practical. But at once I want to adjust you to the following: that to this report we connected not so much the mind, how many the feelings. I will be glad if you have any questions about this report.
