Manevi Danışmanlıkta Duanın Bir Destekleme Metodu Olarak Kullanımı
Öz: Manevi danışmanlıkta kullanılan destekleme metotlarından biri, belki de en sık
kullanılanı, “dua”dır. Dua geleneksel olarak zamandan, dilden ve mekândan bağımsız
olarak bize Tanrı’yla (Mutlak, Yüce Varlık, Kutsal vb.) iletişim kurabilme yetisi kazandıran
bir araç olarak kabul edilir. Bu nedenle manevi danışmanların sıklıkla kullandığı

ve uygulamaların olabileceği gerçeği, duayı bir destekleme metodu olarak kullanacak
manevi danışmanların farkında olmalarını gerektiren bazı hususları ortaya çıkarır. Bu
amaçla makalemizde duanın ne anlamlara geldiği, türleri, psikolojik işleyiş mekanizması,
sağlığı nasıl etkilediğini açıklayan teoriler ile manevi danışmanlıkta duayı kullanırken
dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlar ve farkında olunması gereken riskler konu
edinilmiştir.

the following subjects: The meanings and different forms of prayer, its psychological
functions, theories on the effects of prayer on hea
