The use of religion in the lives of adolescents to repair problematic or disrupted attachments is discussed in the context of attachment theory and Kohut's self-psychology theory, with particular reference to the self-object. It is proposed that adolescents do not seek to break ties with parents or adults so much as to revise their relationships in a more adult direction. Two adolescent cases, one beginning treatment in childhood and the other in early adolescence, are presented and discussed in the context of attachment theory and self-psychology.
本文在依恋理论和科胡特的自体心理学理论背景下，探讨了宗教在青少年生活中对修复有问题或受干扰的依恋关系的作用，特别提及了自体客体。研究认为，青少年并非试图断绝与父母或成年人的关系，而是倾向于朝着更成熟的方向修正他们之间的关系。文中呈现并讨论了两个青少年案例，一个在童年期开始接受治疗，另一个在青春期早期开始接受治疗，讨论基于依恋理论和自体心理学。
