- Abstract
- This project examines internalized representations of the divine in women who are survivors of post-traumatic stress disorder. The project explores three narratives--a novel by Herman Hesse, a film by Fons Rademaker, and the story of the healing of the daughter of Jairus as described in the Gospel of Mark--to trace the history of the object-relations school of psychotherapy, elucidating its relevance for the experience of trauma and describing that experience with special attention to its spiritual implications. The project interviews 21 women, including members of a small control group, using the Characterizations of God Tasks profile. Evidence of both Loving and Absent God representations in the unconscious of an individual is a predictor for presence of post-traumatic stress disorder. Therapists should be sensitive to unconscious God representations presented during therapy, and religious professionals should be sensitive to individuals who have experienced trauma.
