        There is ample evidence confirming the relationship between psychological, social and spiritual issues and human’s biological systems, including the immune system. Breast cancer patients usually face significant distress related to probability of recurrence, death, body image, and psychological problems. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of group spiritual therapy on serum levels of Cytokine interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha among women with breast cancer. Therefor, in a semi-experimental study, 16 patients with breast cancer referred to Shohada Tajrish Hospital in Tehran were purposefully selected and randomly divided into experimental and control group. The experimental group received 12 sessions of spiritual therapy. The serum levels of Cytokine interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha of subjects in both groups were measured before, after, and three month after the last session.  Multivariate analysis of variance of serum levels of Cytokine interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha revealed that spiritual therapy is effective in reducing serum levels of Cytokine interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha in women with breast cancer and has relative endurance over time.  Manuscript profile

        Awareness and escape from awareness are the fundamental concepts of integrated and holistic treatment approach. In this approach, it is believed that intangible awareness that is independent of the brain is nonexistent and awareness is the production of the entire brain functions. For this, when brain functions is temporarily or permanently halted, there would be no consciousness. The ability of awareness, recreations, integrations and identifying actions and emotions requires the use of performance measures that can be emanated from various ways in individual’s behaviors, character, beliefs, and environment; and becomes stable or relatively stable based on learning principles. What Anna Freud, Freud and others have believed in respect to defense mechanisms; or what recent psychologist such as Bandura have proposed in relation to self-exoneration processes are the result of an operation that through escape from awareness seeks to preserve the integrity, comfort, pleasure, homeostasis and even resolving inconsistency. We strongly believe that humans have always used the measures that facilitate feeling of comfort and prevent feeling of suffering and blame. Patterns that are formed involuntarily and in response to the perceived danger or psychological conflict, and in the face of unexpected internal or external changes and imbalances in the environment and enable the individual, in addition to escape from consciousness, justify own or other’s behavior, pursue unreasonable ideals, rationalize their irrational behaviors, and center their objectives upon fragile foundations.
