After a retrospect on former viewpoints about the relationship between psychiatry and religion, especially concerning obsessive-compulsive disorders (S. Freud; "Ekklesiogenic Neurosis") a contemporary perspective shows: religion is hardly mentioned in German-speaking psychiatry textbooks. Pathogenic interaction between religion and psychological disorders is discussed in plurifactorial perspective. Religious views can be distorted by psychic disorders and adapted to the disorders. Starting from an anthropological definition of religion (C. Geertz), the paper presents three functions of religion and explains the relationship of Christian faith and obsessions/compulsions. Teaching programs for students and psychiatrists seem indicated for a better understanding of religion (and its absence) in the context of psychological disorders.
在回顾了以往关于精神病学与宗教关系的观点，特别是关于强迫症（S.弗洛伊德；“教会源性神经症”）之后，当代观点表明：在德语区的精神病学教科书中几乎没有提及宗教。宗教与心理障碍之间的致病相互作用是从多因素角度进行讨论的。宗教观点可能会因心理障碍而扭曲，并与这些障碍相适应。本文从宗教的人类学定义（C.吉尔兹）出发，阐述了宗教的三种功能，并解释了基督教信仰与强迫观念/强迫行为之间的关系。为学生和精神科医生开设教学课程似乎有助于在心理障碍的背景下更好地理解宗教（及其缺失）。
