Psychological diagnosis faces challenges when tries to differentiate nonpsychopathological religious/spiritual experiences from those

that might refer to underlying psychopathology. We offer some findings by different authors who have proffesional interest in this specific

area. Our goal is show differencies and few problems in differential-diagnostic process when assess these phenomenas too. This

report doesn´t cover whole knowledge, it´s meant rather as a proposal for own research.

Keywords: religiosity, spirituality, psychopathology
