Psychology of Religion from a Transcendent Self Theory Perspective (Hardcover)

Psychology of Religion From a Transcendent Self Theory Perspective integrates psychological theories to explain the impact of religions on the human psyche. Throughout this text, concepts from Psychodynamic, Cognitive, Integrative, and Attachment Theory perspectives are used to explain how, at a psychological level, religions propel humans to engage in acts that range from peaceful coexistence to war. This explanatory potential is important, as the globalization of the marketplace and increasing access to nuclear weapons make an understanding of religion in relation to the human psyche paramount to humans' prosperity and survival. Dr. Reisweber contends that the Metaphysical Attachment Figure, which is the main psychological mechanism activated by religions and uniquely described in this book, may be the greatest threat to and hope for humanity.
