Religiousness, spirituality, and social support have all been identified as having a positive impact on overall mental health outcomes. The current study describes quantitative and qualitative assessment of parental and God representations among individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (N = 46). Six salient themes emerged; participants described the importance of caregiver love and nurturance, need for God, loss of family members, love of God, concrete support provided by parents, and the ability to tolerate ambivalent feelings toward parents. Participants linked their relationships with parents and God to their process of recovery. Implications for clinical practice are discussed.
宗教信仰、精神寄托和社会支持都被认为对整体心理健康状况有积极影响。本研究描述了对46名被诊断患有精神分裂症或分裂情感障碍的个体的父母及上帝意象的定量和定性评估。出现了六个显著主题；参与者描述了照顾者的爱与养育的重要性、对上帝的需求、家庭成员的离世、对上帝的爱、父母提供的具体支持，以及容忍对父母矛盾情感的能力。参与者将他们与父母及上帝的关系与康复过程联系起来。文中讨论了对临床实践的启示。
