Cultural and spiritual dimension in psychological counseling

This article is an integral part of a series of articles in which the positive dynamics of psychological work based on Ingush culture and on religious values is shown by the example of specifi c cases of child-parent relations. In the fi rst article of the series “Multicultural approach in psychological counseling: ethno-religious aspect (case analysis)” [1], using the example of the father-daughter relationship, we described the content of the psychological counseling process, performed taking into account the ethno-cultural and spiritual characteristics of the client. The second article “Counseling in the cultural and spiritual context of the client (case analysis)” [2] reveals the process of culturally oriented counseling on the example of the father-son relationship. The third article “Ethnic and religious identity as a client's resources in working with a psychologist” [3] reveals the process of psychological counseling, taking into account cultural, religious and individual diversity, using the example of the relationship between a spouse and her missing husband. In this article, using the example of a specifi c case of the work of a psychologist sensitive to cultural and spiritual diff erences, with the relationship of mother and daughter, an analysis of a multicultural approach in psychological counseling is given, which takes into account ethnic and religious specifi cs of the client. The positive dynamics of psychological work based on Ingush culture and values of Islam is shown. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the multicultural competence of the psychologist provides the consultant, on the one hand, a high level of client trust, and on the other hand a professional approach based on the use of ethnoreligious resources in counseling.
