Abstract
Abstract
The article sketches briefly the history of the Dutch psychology of religion. The early reception was influenced strongly by denominational doctrine and mentality. Although there was enough attention, psychology of religion could not attain an independent position. After World War II, there was a growing interest in psychological training for pastoral theologians which led to the appointment of a – in comparison with other European countries – rather high number of psychologists by theological departments. Some background information on this establishment is presented.
