Soul e a saúde psico-espiritual: uma análise fílmica das possíveis contribuições para Saúde a partir da Psicologia Cognitivo-Comportamental e da Espiritualidade

Abstract

Through the media, in the post-pandemic period, there is a search for a meaningful connection to face adverse situations, manage emotions and deal with the complexity of life. This quest has a strong relationship with spirituality and psycho-emotional well-being, as a means of experiencing quality, meaning in life and comprehensive health. Disney and Pixar's 2020 animation, Soul, as a product of pop culture, points to this trend and expresses this quest. This article aims to reflect on psycho-spiritual health from Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology and spirituality, taking as an example the human being featured in the animation. The article is organized in four parts. In the first part, Soul animation is presented, describing its narrative and introducing its characters. The second and third parts deal with Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology and spirituality as health promoters. In the fourth and last part, by way of conclusion, it points to possibilities of thinking psycho-spiritual health from the examples brought by the animation. In methodological terms, based on a bibliographic review, a conceptualization of elements such as Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology, spirituality and health will be carried out, as a basis for reflecting on psycho-spiritual health. In addition, the film Soul will be analyzed, based on elements of film analysis and the hermeneutics of lived religion.
