AB - The purpose of this study is to explore a Christian counseling method for the recovery of God-image of codependents. Its contents are; Firstly, this study examines the entity of codependency from biblical perspective with psychological understanding. Secondly, this study understands God-image of codependents which hinders relationships with God, parents, self, and others from biblical view and the perspective of object relations theory. Thirdly, this study suggests a Christian counseling method for the restoration of God-image. The results of this study are: Firstly, the core issue of codependents is the loss of their self-identity and dependent relationships. Its entity is sin and idol worship. Secondly, God-image has been formed by relationship with parents, which gives influence to self image formation. Thirdly, God-image of codependents results in gap between faith and life, which stumbles spiritual maturity. Fourthly, God-image has a value as a diagnostic tool of Christian counseling. Fifthly, a Christian counseling method for the restoration of God-image of codependents is the restoration of self image, parents’ image, and God-image, which comes from the recovery of relationships with God as the ultimate important others. It means the restoration of forgiving and loving relationships among God, self and parents in His love and forgiveness, which is spiritual maturity in Jesus Christ.
