With this research, I sought to understand how seventh-day adventist students of a Psychology graduation class, relate Psychology and Spirituality in a thematical discussion group with the possibility of approximation between these areas in a psychologist s training. As a theoretical reference, I used the ideas on Psychology and Spirituality as presented by Kenneth Pargament. This qualitative research was directed towards understanding the life experiences of the aforementioned students as manifested orally or through written accounts. A discussion group composed of six voluntary female adventist students in their last semester of a Psychology graduation class was formed. The four proposed topics for discussion were: 1) The Concept of Spirituality; 2) Dealing with Spirituality in Psychotherapy; 3) A Psychotherapist s Training and Spirituality; and 4) Spirituality itself. The discussions were recorded and the analysis was conducted in accordance with Pargament s proposals, while keeping an open mind on the contributions of other authors associated to the objective of this research. The analysis located fifty units of meaning grouped into four topics: 1) Spirituality; 2) Psychology and Spirituality; 3) Psychology, Spirituality and Psychotherapy ; and 4) Psychologist s Training and Spirituality. This lead to the conclusion that the adventist students of the Psychology graduation class show interest in the topic of Spirituality and desire to better appreciate the two fields in order to offer the client integral care, but also admit a lack of preparation to act in this matter
