Theoretical, Empirical and Clinical Studies from Psychoanalytic Perspectives By: Jacob A. v. van Belzen Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9789048125395, 9048125391 eText ISBN: 9789048125401, 9048125405 Copyright year: 2009 Format: PDF Available from $ 209.00 USD SKU 9789048125401 The psychoanalytic approach to religion has changed radically during the course of the twentieth century. In both clinical and theoretical work in psychoanalysis, developments have taken place that frequently are not noted by persons who assume that all that can be said has been said by Freud. The study of religious phenomena, persons, events and traditions has always been a substantial part of applied psychoanalysis and here also major developments have taken place. It is no exaggeration to state that the scientific study of religion has been revolutionized by the integration of psychological perspectives, including the field of psychoanalysis. This volume differs from other recent publications on the topic of psychoanalysis and religion in drawing upon the entire field of psychoanalytic involvement with religion. It is interdisciplinary in approach and unlike other books on the topic brings together an exceptional combination of theoretical, empirical and clinical studies. No other book provides integrated examples of all three types of work.
