How is this possible? From a contemporary psychoanalytic perspective, this book seeks to answer that question in terms of the psychological dynamic of idealisation.At the heart of living religion is the idealisation of everyday objects. Such idealisations provide much of the transforming power of religious experience, which is one of the positive contributions of religion to the psychological life. However, idealisation can also lead to religious fanaticism wPsychoanalysis and religionPsychoanalysis and religion.200/.1/9200.19Jones James William1943,1617684MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826867903321Terror and transformation3948968UNINA
