The author contends that psychoanalytic theory has generally presented religious beliefs as developmentally immature or pathological. This viewpoint has resulted in a neglect of religion on the part of psychoanalysts and an avoidance of their religious life by patients. Even though there has been an evolution from the traditional Freudian foundational approach to religion as an "illusion" to the inclusion of psychoanalytical training within some Christian institutes and attributions that psychoanalysis, itself, is a religion, religious beliefs should be included in psychotherapy because they can become involved in transference and countertransference issues in ways that are ignored if religious issues are not discussed in therapy. The author presents clinical material to illustrate this problem.
作者认为,精神分析理论通常将宗教信仰视为发展不成熟或病态的。这种观点导致精神分析学家忽视宗教,患者回避他们的宗教生活。尽管从传统的弗洛伊德式将宗教视为“幻觉”的基础方法,到一些基督教机构将精神分析培训纳入其中,以及有人认为精神分析本身就是一种宗教,已经有所演变,但宗教信仰仍应纳入心理治疗,因为它们可能以某种方式卷入移情和反移情问题,如果在治疗中不讨论宗教问题,这些方式就会被忽视。作者提供了临床资料来说明这个问题。
