Ancient Religious Wisdom, Spirituality and Psychoanalysis

Meer over het boek

The book explores the integration of spirituality into psychoanalysis, arguing that classic religious texts like Ecclesiastes, St. Augustine's Confessions, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita can enrich the field. It highlights the current crisis in psychoanalysis, stemming from its disconnection from spiritual and moral insights found in ancient wisdom. The author posits that spirituality is a fundamental aspect of the psyche, emphasizing the human quest for self-transcendence and connection with the Infinite as essential to understanding human nature.
