摘要

截至目前為止，雖不乏有文獻針對靈性體驗（spiritual experience）之於個人心理復原議題進行探討，但探究方式大多是以純粹的敘說（narrative）或客體關係理論（object relations theory）來探討神的意象，以及其所扮演的客體功能，較少以自體心理學（self-psychology）的心理機轉，來歸納分析基督信徒的創傷復原歷程。本論文採取「個案研究法」的方式，針對兩位女性基督信徒，於105年3月至5月期間，各進行五次的深度訪談，再將內容騰成逐字稿進行歸納分析。結果發現：1.研究對象即使已經認識了神，並且有過真實的靈性體驗，仍得要經過不斷的驗證，方能建立「值得被愛」的穩定信念；2.神作為「他者」的存在，意義在於導向生命計畫，而非僅是如自體心理學家Heinz Kohut所描述：「客體的存在只是為了見證自體(The Self)的完美」；3.走過內在修復轉化歷程，研究對象實踐雄心（ambitions）和理想（ideal）的背後，並非純粹出於成熟的自戀能量，亦是渴望與神保持連結，易言之，神對她們而言，已經富有更多情感上的深刻意義。此外，藉由跟神之間的關係修復，研究對象也能適時將與神之間的正向連結關係，遷移（transfer）到長年衝突的家人身上，讓關係走向和解。而為了活出「榮神益人」的精神，兩位研究對象也變得更願意，藉由生命故事的分享去撫慰受苦他人，並且運用自身的專業能力去幫助更多有需要的人。

Although there have been some literatures focused on developing research into spiritual experience in terms of individual psychological resilience, the research methods such as a simple narrative and object relations theory are mostly used in discussion on the image of God and object function of the role. It is rare to see applying psychological mechanism of self-psychology to analyze the course of resilience after trauma. Two Case studies have been adopted as a research method, and the depth interviews for five times were conducted to two female Christians from March to May of 2016. Through depiction and analysis, the results have been found as follows: (1) Even though the interviewees had known God and had had real spiritual experience, continuous verifications were still needed to establish a static belief in a person who is worth to be loved. (2) God is to be as others, guiding the plan of life. It is not only to fulfill the perfection of the self, which is illustrated by Heinz Kohut, a self-psychologist. (3) Experiencing in transformation of internal resilience, interviewees are supported by mature narcissistic energy and desire to connect with God. In other words, God has been giving them emotional satisfaction. In addition, through reconstruction of the relationship with God, interviewees with positive connection with God could transfer to the families, reconciled from conflict relationship for years.Living with spirits of glorifying God and serving human beings, two interviewees with professional capabilities are more willing to help people who needed, sharing life stories with people who suffered from difficulties.
