We present the views of persons such as Freud, Jung, Fromm, Maslow, Rogers and Allport. The results of the present study show that although the study of the soul is a philosophical discussion in nature, but no theory in the psychology can begin a scientific explanation without taking a position on the soul. In fact, even the psychologists who have tried to exclude such concepts from their theories, have taken a definite position on this subject. Therefore, the importance of this philosophical discussion should be sought in the power of explaining psychological theories. Although the discussion of the correspondence of the soul in the philosophy with the discussion of the personality or mind in the psychology is an unscientific and inaccurate discussion, but in terms of studying the human nature in the field of philosophy and psychology, we can discuss the soul in the philosophy and the personality or mind in the psychology. We can also evaluate the approach of each of them.
