We live in an era that often described as 'therapeutic.' Our
culture is suffused with unconscious fantasies and psychoanalytic
ways of thinking about self, other, and society. Aspects of the
Freudian cultural universe have also had an impact on how we think
about religion. In this volume, William Parsons explores the
relationship between religion and psychoanalysis through multiple,
linked investigations. Why did Freud write about religion and what
did he say? What were the multiple critiques levelled at his work?
What were the post-Freudian psychoanalytic advances? How can we
still apply psychoanalytic ideas going forward? In answering these
and related questions, Parsons distinguishes between
classic-reductive, adaptive, and transformational psychoanalytic
models. He also argues that the psychoanalytic theory of religion
needs to integrate reflexive, dialogical, and inclusive elements as
part of its toolkit. Offering illustrations and applications of
such revisions, Parsons creates new capacities for thinking
psychologically and critically about religion.
