The field of psychology/psychology is extremely diverse. For example, the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine alone has about 30,000 professional scientific articles on this topic that need to be reviewed. Google Academy has tens of thousands more. We have briefly analyzed more than 150 scientific professional articles on spirituality and psychology. We have selected the most relevant statements of the authors that deserve the attention of the scientific community.

The peculiarity and great demand for psychology is that Ukraine is at war and everyone needs psychological help, especially our military, who must undergo the appropriate level of rehabilitation for a full-fledged social life. In recent years, we have been defending the spiritual and value paradigm of psychological science, when a psychologist knows and practices Orthodoxy/Christianity very well as the fundamental faith of the Ukrainian state, which has been living on our lands since St. Andrew’s times, since the times of Volodymyr the Great and Yaroslav the Wise and remains undying to this day. At crucial times, it was the “Cathedral” so beautifully described by Oles Honchar that always helped us in the most difficult and fateful times. We should recall the history of Sophia of Ukraine and Sophia of Constantinople, adopt the idea of conciliarity, read and watch many lives of saints on YouTube, and most importantly, understand the power of prayer, the psychology of our salvation, the psychology of the Old and New Testaments, in order to give the best advice to all who need it, including from the perspective of the promising direction we are actively developing – criminology/criminal psychology, to eradicate the determinant of evil on planet Earth.

Key words: psychical sphere, scientometrics, spiritual and value concept of law understanding, criminotheology, psyche, psychology, war, history, conciliarity, “Spirit, Soul and Body”, Christian pedagogy, spirituality, family.
