Abstracts

In research that is carried out using H.G Gough's and A.B. Heilbrun Jr's The Adjective Checklist with modified instruction, we have reached confirmation of the occurence of similarities between the image of the parents, self and the image of God, as assumed in object relations theory. A subject group of Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) of 32 women and 31 men was compared with a group without psychological burdens and analogous in age and number. We found evident difference in their self image and image of God: ACA women judge themselves more negatively as compared to the control group and their image of God is less similar to the image of their own father.
