Traditional medicine plays a crucial role in treating mental health issues, with over 30% of patients in rural areas opting for traditional treatments, especially in regions with limited access to modern healthcare.2 Reports indi- cate that approximately 25% of families with schizophrenia mem- bers seek traditional healing methods, such as consulting shamans and employing herbal remedies.3 In developing countries like Indonesia, patients with mental disorders often combine traditional and alternative therapies, believing their conditions may stem from spiritual causes.2,4,5 While previous studies explored treatments involving shamans, this study focuses on the ruqyah spiritual method.6 Additionally, the treatment landscape varies significantly, with some patients receiving alternative therapies like traditional Chinese medicine, particularly for refractory schizophrenia cases.7 The previous research highlights the differences and similari- ties between Abraham Maslow’s and John Nash’s theories in rela- tion to mental health interventions, revealing significant discrep- ancies between the theoretical frameworks and empirical findings.	cache/hls-13082.pdf	txt/hls-13082.txt
