- Summary:
- Psychotherapy has its roots in religions "cure of the soul." In the twentieth century Freud's psychoanalysis and Jung's analytical psychology emerged as distinct approaches to the treatment of psychological ailments. This book explores the religious underpinnings of psychoanalysis and examines how the tenets of Judaism and Christianity specifically influenced the theories and practices of Freud and Jung, respectively. It demonstrates that secular psychoanalysis is in large measure a revision of religious principles contained within the Judaeo-Christian ethic and questions whether Freud's and Jung's approaches may best be suited to the psychological configurations of their fellow religionists.
