The Effects of Early Religious Training: Implications for Counseling and Development.

Hanna, Fred J.; And Others

Counseling and Values, v39 n1 p32-41 Oct 1994

Many children feel a considerable amount of anxiety in connection with their deity and internalize an authoritative being who is both good and evil, kind and abusive. Modeling of this being can continue into adulthood thus continuing to affect cognition and behavior. Implications for counseling and development are discussed. (LKS)
