Abstract

This project studies the religious beliefs, orientations and practices of histrionic and compulsive personality prototypes. It develops a research instrument (the Religious Orientations Questionnaire), which is given to a population that has Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventories on file. The clients answer essay questions on satisfaction in living, their understanding of faith, God and the helpfulness of pastoral counseling and submit follow-up questionnaires. The project reports on discussions with the pastoral counselors of the clients and draws practical implications. The study concludes that differing religious orientations can be documented between clients with histrionic and compulsive patterns. Female clients of all personality groups score closer to histrionic religious patterns. No other gender-related findings can be ascertained. The project identifies religious frameworks for the two patterns which will be helpful for pastoral counselors.
