This mild manifesto formally correlates the study of depth
psychology with Christian theology. Its governing thesis is that
religion provides the structure for the integration of primordial
drives and images into the individual consciousness. Reciprocally
the modern techniques of psychology facilitate an achievement of
human wholeness intimated by the religious ideal. The Ulanovs
contend that psychoanalysis cannot satisfy innate spiritual needs;
but neither can piety alone fulfill the human potential. Over a
broad range of topics, from the distinction between symbolic and
sacramental perspectives to ethics redefined in the light of the
unconscious, they suggest new ways in which each discipline can
complement the other. Written with some grace and intelligence, the
book has many provocative ideas and cogent summaries of theoretical
positions. Yet it is oddly composed, shunting from topic to topic
at the expense of the primary theme. (Kirkus Reviews)
In "Religion and the Unconscious," Ann and Barry Ulanov provide
a thoughtful study of the relationship between religion and depth
psychology. An insightful contribution to the entire area of
pastoral counseling, this book demonstrates how to combine religion
and depth psychology in order to provide more effective
counseling.
