How to Develop a Supportive, Friendly Worldview Promoting Positive Public Mental Health and Helping the Psychotherapeutic Counseling

Creating yourself a supportive, friendly worldview is essential for well-being and health. Having such a worldview facilitates the effectiveness of own actions and establishing favorable relations with fellow citizens. Elaboration of a supportive worldview that gives meaning to one's life is important not only for particular individuals. If the majority of citizens in a given community have a friendly, uplifting worldview that gives meaning to their own actions then the state of public mental health is beneficial. It helps to maintain good general public health in a given community. Until recently, the quality of widespread worldviews has not been considered greatly. What's more, it was thought that ideological views resulting from upbringing, acquired education and the ideology dominating in a given area are a personal, private element of the personality (psyche), which is not subject to conscious, deliberate transformations. Only recently the comparison of different worldviews been started in terms of their consistency, scope and personal usefulness. The worldview may be of a religious, scientific or philosophical nature. The distinguished worldviews, however, can satisfy the needs of individual people to varying degrees. It is postulated recently that it is possible to work out a coherent and comprehensive philosophical or theological worldviews. I try to quote in this article, the proposed principles for the assessment of various types of worldviews and the ways to obtain such a worldview, which is coherent, versatile and supportive. How can we compare different worldviews and asses the strengths and weaknesses of a scientific, religious or philosophical worldviews? Clement Vidal argue that both scientific, religious worldviews have complementary strengths and weaknesses [1]. He maintains that we all need a worldview to interact with our surrounding and to provide themselves a meaning to our lives. Therefore it is necessary to propose a set of criteria and even a battery of tests which allow us to evaluate a particular worldview. Vidal proposes for assessment of the worldviews three kinds of criteria: (I) Among objective criteria he proposes: the assessment of range of the theory (scope), its consistency, and harmony with science. (II) For the subjective criteria he propose: evaluation of the consistency, personal utility and accordance with own emotions (III) Inter subjective criteria are composed from "inter subjective consistency, collective utility and narratively". Subjective consistency exists when the worldview accords with knowledge and own former experiences. Personal utility is assured when the worldview announces beneficial personal events. Accordance with own emotions occurs when the worldview is in harmony with usual, present personal experiences. Inter subjective consistency happens when the worldview diminishes social conflicts. Collective utility occurs when the worldview promotes positive remembrances from own life and stimulate individuals for social cooperation. The worldview is narrative when it presents its ideas in the form of easy stories. It is possible then to evaluate what happens when a particular criterion will be violated. Vidal states that "one worldview is 'better' than another, when, other things being equal, it better fulfils objective, subjective and inter subjective criteria" [1]. It is not difficult to notice that actually disseminated scientific worldviews often do not meet the criteria of personal utility and emotionality. They often don't reduces "conflicts between individuals" and don't "encourages individuals for what is socially … beneficial". Vidal and Carvalho argue that this problem would have been overcome if: (1) A religious worldview was more objective, consistent with scientific findings or (2) A scientific worldview will be completed with subjective and inter subjective perspectives [1,2]. The quoted authors are convinced that both directions are on purpose the formulation of more versatile and general "comprehensive theological worldview” or “comprehensive philosophical worldview” [1,2]. These two endeavours have a similar aim; however they use different starting points and put a slightly different emphasis on the different mentioned criteria. Both kinds of "comprehensive worldview" has not features of scientific theories. To be versatile they should be speculative, however the speculations should be of "good quality". These speculations must not contradict existing scientific knowledge and must constitute a coherent logical inference. Clement Vidal illustrates his considerations related to the evaluations of worldviews by his very specific “comprehensive philosophical worldview”. His worldview fits in with the increasingly popular views of contemporary cosmologists and philosophers who maintain that the appearance of human life and consciousness is not accidental. Extrapolation of these ideas leads some these thinkers [3-7] to formulation of the thesis that, as James Gardner writes: "intelligent life is the architect of the universe" [4]. Just, it happened that I, the undersigned, formulated a theory with the same meaning [8-12]. The formulation of this theory is accessible on line [10-12]. It can serve as an example of a mentioned kind of a “comprehensive philosophical worldview”. The summary of the "Theory of necessity of people's participation in re-occurrence of sub-Universe" The review of contemporary cosmological theories as well as anthropological and psychological condition indicates that probably people have to realize a very important task on the cosmological plane. The formulated "theory of necessity of people's participation in reoccurrence of sub-Universe" assumes that the occurrence of people's self-awareness and fast, permanent drive to understand everything, as well as rapid progress in scientific research and technology is not *Corresponding author: Andrzej Brodziak, Institute of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health, Poland, Tel: ; E-mail: andrzejbrodziak@wp.p
