Yale University Press claimed In this provocative book, W. W. Meissner, a Jesuit and psychoanalyst, attempts to bring about a rapprochement between psychoanalysis and religious thinking. Utilizing the resources of modern psychoanalytic insight, he examines Freud´s views on religion, explores the dialectical relationship between psychoanalysis and religion, and applies more contemporary concepts in psychoanalysis to the understanding of religious experience. ´Dr. Meissner has written a book which is consistently interesting, often challenging, and impressive for its wide range of scholarship in two fields not often combined in the same work. . . . Dr. Meissner has done us a service in this scholarly work by demonstrating how two perspectives of the human condition have over the course of the last several decades come to similar conclusions.´-Otto F. Thaler, M.D., Journal of the American Academy of Religion ´A rich and stimulating book addressing important issues that lie at the intersection of psychoanalysis and religion.´-Paul C. Vitz, Contemporary Psychology ´Meissner has made a challenging useful contribution that will be pondered, applied, and debated. It will undoubtedly also achieve the goal of bringing about more understanding between analysts and theologians.´-Lowell Rubin, M.D., Newsletter, Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute
