Abstract:
The challenge of our time we have faced about drug abuse increases the
supply of care and admissions in therapeutic communities for the rehabilitation
of people affected by this disease. According to current Brazilian legislation on
mental health, therapeutic settings should provide a spiritual moment in their
care programs. The Roman Catholic Church has the Pastoral da Sobriedade, a
department that deals with the issue of supporting the rehabilitation of addicts.
Most of pastoral agents are dedicated to the task of support these therapeutic
communities. However, not all of pastoral agents have clear indications of how
they should work to get success at rehabilitation. Our thesis aims to answer the
question: how is possible to provide a spiritual moment according to the Lectio
Divina in compliance to therapeutic criteria that causes the spiritual moment as
a therapeutic moment at same time? In view of this question we investigate the
Logotherapy as a psychotherapeutic approach that respects the person
noological sphere. In particular way, we find elements of Bibliotherapy that is
one of the Logotherapy techniques has similarities Lectio Divina in its
implementation as groundwork to therapeutic criteria.
