Culture of providing psychological assistance taking into account the spiritual heritage of the client (case analysis)

This article is an integral part of a series of articles in which the positive dynamics of psychological work based on Ingush culture and religious values is shown by the example of specific cases of child-parent relations. In the first article of the series "Multicultural approach in psychological counseling: ethno-religious aspect (case analysis)" [1] on the example of father-daughter relations, we described the content of the process of psychological counseling, 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] describes 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 the fourth article "Cultural and spiritual dimension in psychological counseling (case analysis)" [4], an analysis of a multicultural approach in psychological counseling, which takes into account the ethnic and religious specifics of the client, is given on the example of a specific case of the work of a psychologist sensitive to cultural and spiritual differences with the relationship of mother and daughter. The positive dynamics of psychological work based on the Ingush culture and values of Islam is shown. In the fifth article, an attempt is made to comprehend the experience of a ten-year-old girl saying goodbye to her mother, to understand what helps a person when their loved one leaves this world [5]. This article describes the culture of providing psychological assistance, taking into account the spiritual heritage of the client, using the example of a specific case. The results of the study showed that the multicultural competence of the therapist provides them not only with a high level of the client’s trust, but also a professional approach based on the use of ethno-religious resources in therapeutic work.
