The aims of the present research study are as follows: determining the status of "assessment of mental-spiritual upheaval" in treatment of religious clients, describing its measuring tools, investigating the relationship between mental-spiritual upheaval and mental health. Hence, the criteria for identification of mental-spiritual upheaval were established and an objective instrument was prepared for its measurement. The primary research study was carried out on 324 undergraduate students using General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and Allport's Religious Orientation Scale (ROS). The results showed adequate reliability and validity of Mental-Spiritual Upheaval Questionnaire. They also suggest that there is a significant and positive relation between mental health and stages of mental-spiritual upheaval. Utilization of this instrument will lead to a relatively adequate assessment of symptoms of mental-spiritual upheaval. It is also useful for diagnosis of individual in-depth spiritual-mental disorders.
