Classic world religious literature is analyzed in depth showing how Ecclesiastes, St. Augustine's Confessions, The Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, and others can enhance psychoanalysis. Marcus argues that psychoanalysis is a theory and profession in crisis, partly due to its alienation from the spiritual and moral philosophies contained in ancient religious wisdom. This volume presents the spiritual as a core dimension of the psyche, and the quest for self-transcendence--meeting the glory of the Infinite--as a quest inherent in the human condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOf special interest to those studying psychoanalysis, psychology, and religious studies, this volume may also intrigue those studying the philosophy of religion.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAUL MARCUS is Supervising and Training Analyst for the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis.
