Crises of Belief: An Object Relations Perspective

Draws on the writings of Paul W. Pruyser, Ana-Maria Rizzuto, and Paul C. Horton to argue that among the many “objects” of need and drive satisfaction are beliefs, and that, as such, beliefs suffer the fates of all things in experience which are both loved and hated. Shows, both through an abstract typology and examples, how beliefs may become problematic in a person's development. Claims that an object relations pespective can serve well the appreciation of the profundity of authority figures in the religious life and the difficulties of attaining a faith which is truly one's own.
