Abstract	This article explores Psychosocial Theology as an emerging interdisciplinary framework that integrates theological reflection, psychology, and social sciences to address contemporary social challenges. Rooted in practical theology and empirical research, Psychosocial Theology provides a systematic and action-oriented response to issues such as social inequality, trauma, suffering, and mental health. By examining historical, theological developments, psychological insights, and sociological theories, this article highlights how faith-based approaches can contribute to structural transformation and holistic well-being. Through case studies and empirical analysis, the article demonstrates the relevance of Psychosocial Theology in engaging with modern crises, advocating for a theology that is both intellectually rigorous and practically effective. Addressing critiques from various theological traditions, the discussion underscores the need for an integrated, research-based approach that ensures theology remains both contextually relevant and socially transformative. Ultimately, this article positions Psychosocial Theology as a crucial field for the future of theological scholarship and faith-based social engagement.
