Description
Summary:The Hebraic idea of “truth,” as an interpersonal concept denoting dependability, reliability, and trustworthiness, is discussed as an essential aspect of both psychological development and biblically genuine fellowship with God. Interpersonal “truth” is given a critical role in the ontogenetic process of reality testing, wherein the stability and consistency of interpersonal behaviors and their meanings during early childhood profoundly influence the subsequent functional integrity of menial processes and social adjustment. Reality testing is discussed as analogous to the process through which one can construe and relate to God.
