The aims pursued in this book are quite modest. The text is not an introduction in the traditional sense to any psychological subdiscipline or field of application, nor does it present anything essentially new. Rather, it shows ‘work in progress’, as it attempts to contribute to an integration of two differently structured, but already existing fields within psychology. In order to explain this, it is probably best to say a few words about how the book came into being and about what it hopes to achieve. As a project, the volume owes very much to others. While lecturing in places ranging from South Africa to Canada and from California through European co- tries to Korea, colleagues have o...
The psychoanalytic approach to religion has changed radically during the course of the twentieth century. In both clinical and theoretical work in psychoanalysis, developments have taken place that frequently are not noted by persons who assume that all that can be said has been said by Freud. 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. 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. 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 interdisciplinary in approach and unlike other books on the topic brings together an exceptional combination of theoretical, empirical and clinical studies. No other book provides integrated examples of all three types of work.

Religionspsychologie ist erneut dabei, in Mode zu kommen. Doch was ist Religionspsychologie? Diese und andere interessante Fragen werden beantwortet, indem sich der Autor der International Association for the Psychology of Religion zuwendet, die 2015 ihr erstes Jahrhundert vollendet und damit eine der ältesten Organisationen in der Psychologie, den Religionswissenschaften und der Theologie ist. Ihre Geschichte war bewegt, lag aber bisher weitgehend im Dunkeln. Dieses spannend geschriebene Buch bietet nicht nur eine Fülle von Details zur Geschichte und Gegenwart des Faches, sondern vor allem auch eine hervorragende Grundlage für eine Bestandsaufnahme und Evaluierung der Religionspsychologie. Kritisch, aber nicht ohne Humor, ist es einzigartig im ständigen Einbeziehen internationaler Perspektiven. Empfehlenswert für jeden an Religionspsychologie Interessierten.
