This project explores the relationship between religious belief and psychic functioning. The hypothesis is that religious belief provides a healing and defensive influence in psychological change. The goal of the project is to help therapists better understand religious belief in its particular psychological context. By using three typologies with a case study method, the author finds that belief and affiliation serve intrapsychic functions unique to individual personality. When equipped with this understanding, the therapist is able to make better alliances and interpretations. The basic finding of the project is the need to appreciate, understand and respect the power of religious belief in the personality.
