Considering spirituality as an important component of the human being`s psychological constituition, being studied in different contexts by many researchers, this work investigated possible relashionships betwen spirituality and health, based on Analitycal Psychology to understand the phenomenon. The method used in the investigation was a bibliographical research and theoretical analysis of the junguian and not junguian literature related to the theme. Spirituality is comprehended as a personal quest for the life meaning and may be related to the sacred and the transcendent. Religion is understood as an organized set of beliefs, rites and symbols wich may promote the contact with the sacred and the tanscendent. Religiousity refers to the level of religious involvement and the possible impacts of this involvement. Jung doesn’t explicitly refers to the term spirituality, but it appears imbricated in his Works, specially when he talks about religion and confession. The concepts of Archetype, Symbol, Ego, Self and Individuation Process were better explained because as were found out, they are the key to comprehend, in Analitycal Psychology, health, spirituality and the possible relationships. Health is considered as multidetermined and due to the constant involvement with the emerging symbols from psyche, what allows the free course of the Individuation Process. Lastly, is noted the necessity of studying and discussing the spirituality at the psychology course and to consider it relevant to the psychoterapeutic process, without the adopting a negligente atitude about the spirituality and health phenomenon
