The growing interest in religion and spirituality in the mental health field has not resulted in the latter being relieved of the binary (dualistic) worldview by which it remains hamstrung. The phenomenon of synchronicity began to receive attention in the 1950s, thanks to the work of C.G. Jung and Wolfgang Pauli. The issue of the therapeutic significance of synchronicity has received widespread scholarly attention but its implications for the mental health field are not limited to the therapeutic realm. That is, synchronicity intimates a non-dualistic cosmology that could affect a transformation of the mental health field toward wholeness
