There are numerous definitions of the term “spirituality”. To a large extent, the diversity of content of these definitions reflects the varied perspectives of their authors.

The present paper is concerned with a review of the literature on addictions and spirituality and the data presented here are the preliminary findings from a project, which it is hoped will soon culminate in a full publication.
