Abstract
The article examines intergenerational relationships in an extended family; it shows the positive dynamics of psychological work based on Ingush culture and religious values. Using the example of a specifi c case of psychological counseling for the Ingush daughter-in-law towards her relationship with her mother-in-law, the culture of providing psychological assistance is described, considering the cultural and spiritual heritage of the client. Due to the growing demand for spiritual counseling from Muslims, focused on finding meaning and improving the quality of life, it became necessary to show the role of cultural and religious practices in the healing process. Cultural and religious commitment contributes to the spiritual and physical well-being of the client. Religious beliefs help a person to fi nd support, stability and solace in times of uncertainty or crisis.
