The author has dealt with this problematic since 1990. Beside a few survey and the synthetic works based on foreign literature (i.e., on religiosity, spirituality, spiritual intelligence, fundamentalism and the concept of God), the empirical research was performed about the application of the foreign scales and questionnaires, the meaning of life, relation between personality and fundamentalism, personality and spirituality, and concept of a personal God, etc.

Research on the psychological characteristics of the image of God is one of the dynamically developing areas in psychology of religion. The aim of the paper is to present certain information on God Image Scales – a psychometric instrument which identifies psychological characteristics of the image of God in six dimensions: Presence, Challenge, Acceptance, Benevolence, Influence, and Providence. The author of the questionnaire, Richard Lawrence, based this instrument on two particular theories: the Attachment theory and the Object relations theory, with both applied to religion. In the present case the instrument primarily focuses on an experiential image of God as opposed to a rationally learned image of God. The paper also presents the Slovak adaptation of the questionnaire and explains how the Slovak version was developed using item analysis of three independent research samples. An exact translation of the original version does not guarantee the same psychometric characteristics as the original version. In conclusion, the advantages and disadvantages of using the instrument are discussed from the point of view of psychology and theology as well. The Slovak adaptation of the God Image Scales may contribute to research studies, clinical practice and pastoral work as well.

The monograph introduces the reader to the psychology of religion through the work of Antoine Vergote, a theoretician who has influenced the development of this discipline in Europe in fundamental ways for several decades. Behind the iron curtain, the importance of a psychology of religion was suppressed and its cultivation banished from the scope of research. On the solid basis of his lifework and of his psychoanalytically oriented pioneering research, Vergote now presents the Hungarian reader with empirical methods of studying various cases, his preliminary considerations, and the results of his investigations supported by his insight into several disciplines. Vergote approaches definitions, symbols, and rituals from a wide theoretical foundation making use of different fields such as psychology, theology, and a religiously based and practically oriented pedagogy. While the author has developed a system of criteria to distinguish between healthy and pathological forms of religious practices, he points out that the adequate training of the practitioner is key to a successful treatment. Vergote's works are now an indispensable resource for any research in the field connecting psychology and theology.

Modern society has been characterized by individualism which has led people to a certain identity crisis. In the postmodern age, the answer to the crisis is partially found in the desire for authentic human relationships. This is why the way to a psychological understanding of the mystery of man is through an understanding of interpersonal relationships of the person. It is the same when we study the religious aspects of human existence. The aim of this article is to provide readers with an organized view on certain theories and related concepts that are used at present in the psychology of interpersonal relationships and particularly in the psychology of religion. Two particular theories are discussed above all: the Attachment theory and the Object relations theory – both applied to religion. Both of them suggest that we may learn more about the religious experience of an individual when we know more about his/her interpersonal relationships. From the interdisciplinary point of view it is concluded that the fact is correspondingly reflected in contemporary Christian theology.
