Developmental psychology lacks clear definitions of mind, spirit, and soul, leaving their relation to the body fragmented. While secular psychology examines cognition, meaning‑making, and moral development, materialist frameworks focus on measurable processes and offer little account of subjective or spiritual experience. This project traces the historical evolution of mind–body constructs in developmental theories, comparing with Bahá’í dual‑aspect teachings, and models how mind and spirit interact with the body. It proposes a framework in which the mind is both embodied and spiritually oriented, strengthening conceptual and measurement clarity
