Psychotherapy and Religion by Marcella Bakur Weiner
The integration of religion into psychotherapy finds expression in the therapist's stance and response to those who seek help. The editors have gathered papers that demonstrate through extensive autobiographical material the relationship between personal religious experience and clinical work. The contributing authors, without exception, confront psychoanalytic theory and religious teachings in highly personal ways.
After reading these essays, one is left with a deep appreciation of life...The beauty of this book enables the reader to appreciate psychotherapy and spirituality as a mutual experience but one that have different underpinings that lead to the same direction. If you are questioning what life is about or have patients that do the same, [this book] will be a breath of fresh perspective and a mind expanding experience. * Independent Practitioner *
