description The role of the father in generalised anxiety disorder While the behavioural sciences have done much research on generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), a justifiable pastoral therapeutic approach, combined with unique etiological insights into a therapy for the individual who suffers from it, is needed. In this study the correlation between the individual’s father image and her/his image of God, as well as its influence on the development of GAD is researched. The correlation between father- and God images and the symptomatology of GAD are graphically indicated. It highlights the phenomenon that a negative father image, which leads to a distortion of the individual’s image of God, results in existential insecurity. This deprivation of security is identified as a causal factor for GAD. Some suggestions concerning pastoral therapy to people suffering from GAD are offered.
