<p style="text-align:justify;">With regular practice of these methods, an individual becomes proficient in self-regulating his psyche towards a more calm and courageous disposition when facing challenges. Hence, yoga eventually enhances dhairya (mental strength and perseverance) at all times, either directly or indirectly. </p>

== Contemporary views ==
<p style="text-align:justify;">The contemporary branch of psychotherapeutics can be broadly classified into: a) Supportive psycho-therapeutics and b) Interpretive Psychotherapeutics. Supportive psychotherapy includes psychodynamics and cognitive behavioral studies with conceptual models for interpersonal relationships. The aim is to relieve the intensity of presenting distress, thereby reducing the frequency of behavioral disruptions due to inner conflicts and disturbances.<ref name="ref16">Werman, David S. (1964). The Practice of Supportive Psychotherapy. New York, New York: Psychology Press. </ref> The direct consoling and sheer reassurance aspect of supportive psychotherapy are similar to the psychosocial dimensions of dhairya. It takes tremendous patience and compassion to understand the chaotic psychic disposition and untangle every knot layer by layer. Supportive psychotherapy works with the therapist engaging actively to emotionally support and encourage the patient to develop a healthy defense mechanism and reinforce positive adaptive behavior patterns and thoughts. This significantly reduces the intra-psychic conflicts, subsiding the intensity of mental distress. </p>
== Conclusion ==
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dhairya is a vital attribute of sattva (mind) to excel in pursuance of any desirable goal at hand. Nurturing dhairya in consciousness takes considerable patience and time. It takes a lot of strength of character to identify, accept and abide by any ethical code of conduct or even own virtues. It is a trait that sets an individual apart from the crowd, raising him to a divinity equivalent to the highest position of an honorable and righteous king in this material world. Hence, it is said to be more evident in people with the dominance of sattva guna. [A.H. Sutra Sthana 12/69]
<br/>
Dhairya provides an opportunity for deeper introspection and self-realization. It is required in the treatment of psychiatric and behavioral disorders. The strength of dhairya is a characteristic feature of those suffering from grave diseases (guru vyadhita). [A.H. Sutra Sthana 12/69] Such people though suffering much, don't lament about their ailments due to a strong sense of patience and perseverance (dhairya). </p>
== Current Researches ==
<p style="text-align:justify;">Various researches over the understanding of the different dimensions of dhairya have been carried in past decade. They indicate dhairya is a part of psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic modalities of ayurveda.
<br/>
Sattvavajaya chikitsa is the principal therapeutic model for all mental disorders. Dhairya forms the foundation to hold together and take forward the principles of jnana, vijnana, smriti and samadhi for the success of sattvavajaya chikitsa.
<br/>
Controlling mind from unwholesome regimens (mano nigrahan) is the principle behind sattvavajaya chikitsa. Dhi, dhairya, smriti and samadhi are the same methods. Dhairya has been explained as stability of mind. A stable mind is patient and courageous enough to tolerate pains and challenges of life.<ref name="ref17">Sarswat Bhawna et al; A critical review of concept of manas in Ayurveda literature; International Journal of Ayurveda; April 2018; Vol.3; Isuue 4; 1-4. </ref> Also without dhairya, it isn't easy to adopt and complete any treatment regimen for the betterment of own health.
<br/>
Ayurvedic treatment modalities like avoiding prajnaparadha (intellectual errors), vega vidharana (controlling greed, fear, anger , jealousy and excessive attachments), adopting sadvritta (ideal code of conduct), achara rasayana (ethical codes of conduct), tadvidyaseva (to render service to those who are well learned in psychotherapy techniques) have been observed in providing therapeutic as well as preventive dimensions.<ref name="ref18">Bagali SS, Baragi UC, Deshmukh RA.
