| Summary: | The changes in the pedagogy of research supervision in the university context are now reflected within the practices of theological seminaries and accredited colleges. A neglected analytical framework that could illuminate the supervisory relationship is provided by Winnicott's Object Relations Theory and Bion and Diamond's Organizational Psychodynamics, as they interconnect identity, stress and creativity - factors that are germane to the researcher experience. Object Relations also parallels faith development. Given the significant personal investment demanded by research, a crisis of identity for the religious student is simultaneously a crisis of faith. Conversely, a Christian faith experience could sustain the research journey through the appropriation of divine Grace. Some suggestions are provided as to how this could be manifested within the research culture. Fortschritte in der Hochschulpädagogik erreichen zunehmend auch theologische Hochschulen und Fakultäten. Dieser Aufsatz betrachtet die angeleitete Forschungstätigkeit von Nachwuchswissenschaftler:innen aus der Perspektive der Object Relations Theory nach Donald Winnicott und der Theorie der Psychodynamik nach Wilfred Bion und Michael Diamond. Er unterbreitet Vorschläge, wie Krisen des beruflichen Selbstverständnisses und Krisen des persönlichen Glaubens in der Qualifikationsphase erwachsenenpädagogisch begleitet werden können. |
