In this era we desperately need to revitalize humanity through the application of psychospiritual treatment. This chapter explores the inner dimension of healing and treatment methods for depression through balancing the psychological and spiritual paradigms. An integrative, psychospiritual treatment paradigm creates a dimension of transformation that uses the natural healing potential in each of us to treat and heal depression for many people. As a Sufi psychotherapist I actively apply the paradigms of healing in the sacred wisdom teachings to create a new vision that brings clarity and strength to the awareness of the unity within the individual so the self is no longer lost and empty within the depressive illness.
