Paper long abstract:

The research paper will focus upon the model of transcultural psychiatry which is also one of the effective means of spiritual healing. The paper aims at exploring the relationship between the spiritual transformations of the patient and healing within the perspective of empathy and "radical therapy". A religious and scientific perspective is involved in spiritual transformation. Spirit transformation is a universal potential of human life and a central element in the actions and interactions of the healing process. The ritual healings process is directed at the core components of spritual transformation, social relatedness and empathy. The spiritual transformation plays a key role in ritual healing of healers according to empathy and the relationship with the patient. The sufferer undergoes a different type of experience as the healer makes a link between past and present conditions of the patient. There are different ways and means of psychotherapy that the healer applies throughout the different stages of healing. This involves transcultural psychotherapy, medical treatment and religion. This process has the far-reaching implications and positive effects in getting the desired results .
