What can be gained from a dialogue between psychoanalysis and
religion? Freud described religion as the universal obsessional
neurosis, and uncompromisingly rejected it in favour of "science."
Ever since, there has been the assumption that psychoanalysts are
hostile to religion. Yet, from the beginning, individual analysts
have questioned Freud's blanket rejection of religion. In this
book, David Black brings together contributors from a wide range of
schools and movements to discuss the issues. They bring a fresh
perspective to the subject of religion and psychoanalysis,
answering vital questions such as: How do religious stories carry
(or distort) psychological truth? How do religions 'work',
psychologically? What is the nature of religious experience? Are
there parallels between psychoanalysis and particular religious
traditions? Psychoanalysis and Religion in the 21st Century will be
of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic therapists,
psychodynamic counsellors, and anyone interested in the issues
surrounding psychoanalysis, religion, theology and spirituality.
