Freud and Jung on religion

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

This volume provides an account of the theories of religion of both Freud and Jung. In the first section, the author analyzes Freud's claim that religion is an obsessional neurosis - a psychological illness fuelled by sexual repression. The second section considers Jung's rejection of Freud's theory and his own assertion that it is the absence of religion, not its presence, which leads to neurosis.
