Emotion and Spirit by Neville Symington
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.
'..a terrific book...I do think here the teaching of years has been most superbly and satisfyingly and deeply worked out, and knitted into a stunningly impressive whole.'- Dr. Nina Coltart, author of How to Survive as a Psychotherapist
