Описание
Итог:Continued spiritual growth is evidenced by older adults, indicated by their evolving God images. Rizzuto's object relations theory presents a framework for understanding the inter- and intrapsychic dimensions of older adults' God images, and continuity theory talks about development throughout the life span. Object relations theory is complemented by continuity theory, and together they help us understand how both primary object relations and experiences across the lifespan influence one's God images. The incorporation of God images in therapy with older adults can create significant changes in their overall health, especially those who are religiously or spiritually inclined.
