Antagonism and separateness has characterized the relationship between psychotherapy and religion/spirituality throughout the history of psychology, beginning with Freudian psychoanalytic theory. Recently, however, spirituality, broadly defined as a transcendent relationship with a higher being, has begun to reemerge as a central concept in therapeutic work. There is fertile ground for exploring how spirituality can be enfolded into psychotherapeutic practice, particularly from an object-relations standpoint. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to examine points of convergence and divergence between spirituality and object-relations theory and explore the integration of spirituality with object-relations therapy, with the hope of replacing historical antagonism with thoughtful and intentional integration.
自弗洛伊德精神分析理论诞生以来，在心理学的整个历史进程中，心理治疗与宗教/灵性之间的关系一直以对立和分离为特征。然而，近来，被广泛定义为与更高存在的超越性联系的灵性，已开始重新成为治疗工作中的核心概念。探索如何将灵性融入心理治疗实践有着丰富的空间，尤其是从客体关系的角度来看。因此，本文的目的是审视灵性与客体关系理论之间的异同点，并探讨灵性与客体关系疗法的整合，以期用深思熟虑且有意识的整合取代历史上的对立。
