Christ and Freud (RLE

More about the book

Focusing on the interplay between psychiatry and religion, the book challenges the Freudian view that religion stems from obsessional neurosis, arguing instead for the authenticity of religious experience. It emphasizes that while theological frameworks can hinder genuine faith, true faith is a holistic response involving the entire individual. The author explores the complex dynamics of how psychiatric factors influence religious practice and vice versa, offering a nuanced perspective on belief and experience.
