Abstract:
The faith relationship interview (FRI) has been recently developed as an intervention in which clients discuss their religious thoughts and feelings, their (development of the) God representations, and the parallels and differences between their relationship with God and with other people. In this explorative qualitative research, the FRI is evaluated with eight adolescent clients and four clinicians in the Netherlands. All participants reported to have positive experiences regarding the FRI and clients reported to have learned something about their God representations and about the parallel between their relationships with God and others. These results suggest that the FRI is a promising and valuable intervention for Christian clients and clinicians to integrate religion and God representations in psychotherapy.
