The approach to the well-being of human beings within the framework of comprehensive care, which takes into account their spiritual dimension, is today a major challenge facing all professionals working in the health and social fields.

In this sense it becomes more and more necessary to deepen the understanding of the spiritual phenomenon from the various current disciplines that can help us to grasp its richness and complexity, as well as the importance of its healing dimension in the processes of health and social integration.

Taking into account the degree of secularization of our society and the new spiritual languages and religious forms that are emerging, and which transcend the Catholic tradition that has been in force until now, it is necessary to find new conceptual frameworks, new strategies and new tools that allow us to approach the suffering person and accompany him in his situation of suffering and vulnerability in the most appropriate way possible.

These studies aim to offer a solid foundation at the conceptual level that will help us to understand the human being in all its dimensions with an emphasis on the spiritual dimension. They also seek to bring us closer together and make more comprehensible the religious expressions that currently exist in our culture. At the same time, they want to suggest new strategies and give new tools that allow us to accompany, in our professional action, both in the field of health and in the social field, the healing and integrating dimension of human spirituality. The degree is given at the Campus Docent Sant Joan de Déu in collaboration with the Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud San Rafael-Nebrija.
