**Spirituality experience should increase socialisation and integration.**
- According to Boisen, a good outcome from spiritual struggles is increased socialisation and unification with common ideals, which in turn often resolves the acute disturbance. A bad outcome is an enduring psychosis, or a less severe form of schizotypal withdrawal from one’s peers. However, Boisen was disheartened by the fact that he could not help the majority of institutionalised patients recover from severe psychosis with psychospiritual support. This likely reflects a medical fact: a severe dysfunction that develops over time cannot always be reversed by treating its original causes. -[[What a spiritual high shares with a mental breakdown Aeon Essays]]
