The German-language reference work on all questions related to spiritual crises in therapeutic and counseling practice. Spirituality, as a search for meaning and significance in one's existence, is a fundamental human need. Personal tragedies or existential questions that can only be inadequately addressed within a materialistic worldview can intensify this need and awaken the desire for reorientation. When this is combined with an uncritical application of spiritual-meditative techniques, it can lead to crisis situations where you, as a companion or therapist, are called upon. What transforms questions of meaning, boundary experiences, or the pursuit of consciousness expansion into a treatable spiritual crisis? What course can spiritual crises take? How can those affected be best supported?.
