Abstract

Object relations theory focuses on 'relationship' as the matrix within which the 'self' is formed. The most significant object in becoming a person is the image (object) of God. This project seeks to examine a young adult's process of their 'image of God' formation. It offers an overview of object relations theory; a theological reflection on language used to describe 'images of God'; an exploration of faith development in young adult years; a discussion of benefits of object relations theory in pastoral counseling; and a discussion on listening to young adults reflect on their on their 'image of God'.
