ABSTRACT

Research has demonstrated that maladaptive relational functioning of patients suffering from personality disorders is associated with more negative God representations. This study demonstrated with a single group design among a group of 37 Christian patients with personality disorders, that changes in implicit God representations during psychotherapy, as assessed with the recently developed implicit Apperception Test God Representations (ATGR), were associated with changes in explicit God representations and object-relational functioning, but not in distress. Changes in explicit distress were associated with changes in explicit God representations. Results of cross-lagged analyses suggested that object-relational functioning affected God representations more than vice versa.

摘要

研究表明，患有人格障碍的患者适应不良的关系功能与更消极的上帝表征有关。这项研究通过一组 37 名患有人格障碍的基督徒患者的单组设计证明，心理治疗期间内隐上帝表征的变化，正如最近开发的内隐统觉测试上帝表征 (ATGR) 所评估的那样，与外显上帝的变化有关表征和对象关系功能，但没有陷入困境。显性痛苦的变化与显性上帝表征的变化有关。交叉滞后分析的结果表明，对象关系功能对上帝表征的影响大于反之。
