Ten Lectures on Psychotherapy and Spirituality by Nathan Field

Ten Lectures on Psychotherapy and Spirituality by Nathan Field

This volume is a much-needed exploration of contemporary theories on psychotherapy and spirituality, moving away from the more traditional, non-spiritual aspects of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. The book consists of a dialogue between the opposing sides; most of the papers have responses from the "other" side. This dialogue mirrors the early communication between Freud and Jung regarding spirituality, and opens up doors for continuing collaboration between psychoanalysis as a pure science and the spiritual and religious dimensions within.This inspiring collection of papers grew from the lectures held in 2002 at the London Centre for Psychotherapy. In the time of increased interest in more scientific schools of psychoanalysis such as neuropsycho-analysis, there is also a surge of interest in spirituality within psychoanalysis, as demonstrated by the great interest in these lectures.

'The foregoing developments, now widely discussed in the psychoanalytic literature, influenced my approach in organizing these lecturesIf within the bastions of "hard" science, inner experience has become a legitimate topic of discussion; if even the major figures in the world of physics - Einstein, Heisenberg, Pauli, and Bohm - could publicly acknowledge a spiritual perspective, perhaps the time was ripe to attempt a modest resumption of the aborted collaboration between Freud and Jung?'- Nathan Field from the Introduction
