This book offers a re-evaluation of Freud's view that religion rests on a one-way transference of the devotee's instinctually based childhood wishes, fears and behaviours, onto a religious construct. Following on recent psychoanalytic theorizing about interactional patterns, James W. Jones - a clinical psychologist and professor of religion - investigates the interactive relationship between the devotee and the religion, focusing on the emotional content of the person's experience of the sacred as a means to illuminate aspects of religion overlooked in Freud's paradigm. He discusses models of transference since Freud; examines previous applications of psychoanalysis to religion; and explores theological views on the experience of the sacred. He then applies his own views to the therapeutic and religious transformations of patients in four case studies from his clinical practice. This book should give the scholar and student of religious studies the latest psychoanalytic theories and demonstrate their relevance for religious studies. It should also help the clinician grasp the role of religion in human life.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. New Haven. Yale University Press. 1991 Hard Cover. Sand coloured cloth boards with gilt titles. Unclipped wrapper and book are as new The psychoanalytic study of religion has until now been dominated by a Freudian perspective that views the religious experience as a one-way transference, where the devotee projects his instinctually based childhood wishes, fears, and behaviours onto a religious construct. In this path-breaking book, James W. Jones, a clinical psychologist and professor of religion, challenges this view. Building on more recent theories in which the self is construed as a matrix of internalized relationships, he investigates ways in which religious beliefs, practices, and experiences reflect the structure of the relational self. Drawing on both theory and practice, Jones not only reviews the relevant psychoanalytic literature but also illustrates his thesis with an in-depth discussion of four clinical cases.
