Spiritual violence is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that deeply affects the psychological and social lives of individuals. This kind of violence can occur in both visible and invisible forms, with different manifestations at various dimensions and levels; it also often involves the abuse of religious or spiritual beliefs. The aim of the introduction is to provide a comprehensive definition of spiritual violence, its origins and the sociological negative effects it has on individuals. In this context, developing a deep sociological perspective on this phenomenon, which has the potential to cause spiritual injuries, can help to better understand the trauma experienced by individuals and to address this issue effectively. Spiritual violence not only affects individuals in their spiritual dimension, but also in their social, cultural and economic contexts, with profound implications and significant consequences. This makes it a multifaceted issue and a complex situation that needs to be addressed. A better understanding of these effects can facilitate a healthy contribution to social awareness processes and spiritual healing processes. This can have a positive impact on the social life and spiritual well-being of individuals. An in-depth study of this topic will create greater awareness towards the recognition of spiritual violence and contribute to the development of the ability of different social groups to cope with such situations. At the same time, increasing knowledge at both individual and societal levels is crucial for understanding the nature and dynamics of this phenomenon. When spiritual violence has such a profound impact on the lives of individuals, developing an understanding of it is of great importance not only for the victims but also at the societal level. In order to combat this kind of violence and to enable the spiritual and social healing of individuals who have had similar experiences, it is crucial to increase awareness and education on this issue.
