There is robust evidence to support the relationship between spirituality and mental health, but the mechanisms of this association are not well-understood. The existential meaning provided by spirituality may be one of these mechanisms. This was the central theme of Viktor Frankl's psychology, which he explained using the notion of the spiritual unconscious. Thus, we sought to explain how Frankl understands this spiritual unconscious and the two pieces of evidence he presents for its existence: the phenomenological description of responsible action and the analysis of dreams. Lastly, we discuss his contribution to the current understanding of the relationship between having an overarching purpose and/or religious meaning and improvement in mental health.
有充分的证据支持精神性与心理健康之间的关系，但这种关联的机制尚未得到充分理解。精神性所提供的存在意义可能是其中一种机制。这是维克托·弗兰克尔心理学的核心主题，他用精神无意识的概念对此进行了解释。因此，我们试图解释弗兰克尔如何理解这种精神无意识以及他为其存在所提供的两条证据：对负责任行动的现象学描述和对梦的分析。最后，我们讨论他对当前理解拥有总体目标和/或宗教意义与心理健康改善之间关系的贡献。
