THE JUNE DAY had started off normally enough with the cats’ demands to be fed and let out. The sunlight, indifferent, continued its stately progress. The light at last reached the humble, dusty window of a broom closet, shining straight into the open eyes of the man on the floor who lay unblinking, unmoving. In east-facing bedrooms, springs creaked and snores were interrupted as sleepers shifted to keep the brilliance out of their eyes. Minute by minute, as the sun rose higher, its golden rays reached deeper, bathing the humbler roofs, the walls, the windows.

It is interdisciplinary in approach and unlike other books on the topic brings together an exceptional combination of theoretical, empirical and clinical studies. This volume differs from other recent publications on the topic of psychoanalysis and religion in drawing upon the entire field of psychoanalytic involvement with religion. It is no exaggeration to state that the scientific study of religion has been revolutionized by the integration of psychological perspectives, including the field of psychoanalysis. ![]() The study of religious phenomena, persons, events and traditions has always been a substantial part of applied psychoanalysis and here also major developments have taken place.
