In the present study we surveyed 131 adults seeking psychotherapy and pastoral care in an intensive outpatient psychotherapy program for full-time religious workers. We sought to determine whether dissociation and alexithymia are associated with spiritual well-being. We utilized the Dissociative Experiences Scale-II (DES-II), the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWB) as well as the subscales of these instruments in a series of linear multiple regression analyses. DES-II total scores were inversely related to SWB total scores. No association was found between alexithymia and SWB, nor did alexithymia moderate the relationship between dissociation and SWB. Subscale analyses revealed that lower SWB and Existential Well-Being (EWB) were associated with greater nonpathological dissociation (DES-NP), which was unrelated to Religious Well-Being (RWB). By contrast, lower RWB was predicted by higher pathological dissociation (DES-T), which displayed no relationship to SWB or EWB. We conclude with a discussion of some implications of these findings.
在本研究中，我们调查了 131 名在一个专为全职宗教工作者开设的强化门诊心理治疗项目中寻求心理治疗和牧师咨询的成年人。我们试图确定分离和述情障碍是否与精神健康有关。我们使用了分离体验量表-第二版（DES- II）、多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS-20）、精神健康量表（SWB）以及这些工具的子量表，进行了一系列线性多元回归分析。DES-II 的总分与 SWB 的总分呈负相关。述情障碍与 SWB 之间没有关联，述情障碍也没有调节分离与 SWB 之间的关系。子量表分析显示，较低的 SWB 和存在幸福感（EWB）与更大的非病理性分离（DES-NP）有关，与宗教健康（RWB）无关。相比之下，更高的病理性分离（DES-T）预测了较低的 RWB，而病理性分离与 SWB 或 EWB 无关。最后，我们讨论了这些发现的一些意义。
