Download or read book Emotion and Spirit written by Neville Symington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychoanalysis, with Freud as its founder, has vehemently denied the value of religious belief. In this radical book, re-issued with a new preface by the author and a foreword by Jon Stokes, Neville Symington makes the case that both traditional religion and psychoanalysis are failing because they exist apart and do not incorporate each other's values. The controversial conclusion of this fascinating study is that psychoanalysis is a spirituality-in-the-world, or a mature religion, and inseparable from acts of virtue.
