 Psychater differ in their beliefs very strong attitude of other doctors, almost two-thirds Catholic or Protestant. Most psychiatrists is the Christian faith but alien. Sigmund Freud, altbekannter father of psychoanalysis, saw religion as a kind of universal Zwangsneurose. Faith was a childish form of reality management. According to the survey by American doctors, they are still the Christian faith to skeptical. For example, a nationwide study on religious habits among physicians found that psychiatrists the least religious doctors. In contrast, family doctors are very devout, write Farr Curlin and his colleagues from the University of Chicago now in the specialist journal Psychiatric Services. Most doctors are Catholic or Protestant, the survey showed. For example, 39 percent of all American doctors Protestants, Catholics 22 percent. The psychiatrist other hand, according to the study, therefore, much less a believer. Among them there are only 27 percent of Protestants and 10 percent Catholics. This is the proportion of psychiatrists Jewish faith higher than the other doctors. While 13 percent of all doctors surveyed Jews are at the psychiatrists 29 percent. Absolutely no religion, according to the study include 10 percent of all medical doctors, psychiatrists are in this much more - namely 17 percent. Curlin and his colleagues were also noted that psychiatrists do not often attend a religious service, rare in God or a life after death believe. In addition, they would not seek their lives to cope with this by God for "strength, guidance or assistance" to him. The belief also affects the treatment of patients, presented the researchers. To transfer the religious doctors, in particular the anti-Chen protest, their patients less likely to psychiatrists. Rather, they send patients with psychological problems to a cleric or a religious adviser. Why the psychiatrists nichtreligiöser the proportion is as high, researchers can only guess: "Something in psychiatry - perhaps the historical connection to psychoanalysis and the anti-religious views of the early analysts such as Sigmund Freud - seems religious refrain from medical students in this field to act, "says study author Curlin. The lack of faith with the non-acceptance associated with spiritual questions or problems many people would probably often to alternative therapists and addresses. It is often forgotten that religion or the flight into alleged spiritual worlds no cure for a broken or gepeinigte psyche. Better if these people are actually in a traditional psychotherapy lifted, especially since it is unfortunately no objective quality criterion for "life advisers" and her. But even with the many psychiatrists feel called, but few are chosen. Damage would like classical alternative Therapierformen certainly not from each other to learn and benefit.
