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 w 606 $aPsychoanalysis and religion 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and religion. 676 $a200/.1/9 676 $a200.19 700 $aJones$b James William$f1943,$01617684 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826867903321 996 $aTerror and transformation$93948968 997 $aUNINA
