What is it about?
How do ways of meaning making, how does faith change as we go through our lives in different times and places? How is one´s way of being religious, spiritual, atheist or else related to personality? How are religious issues experienced in psychoanalytic psychotherapy? I suggest to combine research perspectives to study these questions and present examples and case studies, drawing on my experience as em-pirical researcher in the psychology of religion as well as practicing psychoanalyst.

Why is it important?
In a globalizing world confronted with global problems it is crucial to understand others´and one´s own faiths.
Perspectives
I argue to use the single case as source of scientific knowledge, for interdisciplinary as well as intercultural teamwork in the psychology of religion, for scientific self-reflection and minding others´ faiths.
