Changing Views of the Human Condition
Where Do We Go from Here? Scenarios for the Psychology of Religion
As the discipline of psychology has become enormously diversified in this century, a great diversity of psychologies of religion has become possible and up to a point been demonstrated. Even more importantly, one can now see marked differences in the apparent motives and aims whereby psychologies of religion have been produced, with the result that partial, competing, and parochial views abound and a comprehensive psychology of religion is still …

Hayano Because it is mathematically possible to win consistently at poker, this gameunlike many others-can be a profession and, for the gambler, a life as impenetrable to the outsider as a foreign culture.

The Birth of the Living God
Utilizing both clinical material based on the life histories of twenty patients and theoretical insights from the works of Freud, Erikson, Fairbairn, and Winnicott, Ana-Maria Rizzuto examines the origin, development, and use of our God images. Whereas Freud postulated that belief in God is based on a child's idea of his father, Rizzuto argues that the God representation draws from a variety of sources and is a major element in the fabric of one's…

Shame, Exposure, and Privacy
Taking profound issue with the contemporary tendency towards public display and exposure of things once kept private, Carl Schneider draws support from such thinkers as Nietzsche, Freud and Sartre in this defence of the human personality's need for privacy. Indeed, he argues, the sense of shame is an important resource in our journey towards maturity. Far from being an impediment to self-realization, healthy shame emerges from Schneider's analysi…
The Biographical Process
Lessons from Art Theory for the Psychology of Religion
Certain concepts in the theory of art might be applicable to the psychology of religion, particularly when one realizes that in ontogenesis the individual tends to be introduced at once to art and religion. This paper describes first the reciprocal reinforcement between art and religion in childhood and subsequent cultural experience. It goes on to suggest that significant understanding of religion can be gained from a systematic application of t…

Between Belief and Unbelief

Dr. Pruyser is a clinical psychologist, Harry March Pfeiffer Professor at the Menninger Foundation, one of the coauthors of The Vital Balance ( I ), and author of A Dynamic Psychology ofReligion (2). Dr. Pruysen undertook this book to deal with “the contemponary phenomena of secularization, dis…

Phenomenology and Dynamics of Hoping
Most psychological textbooks do not carry the words hope or hoping in their index or chapter headings. Psychological Abstracts, that great indexing journal of the psychological profession, has not had any entries or listings under hope for years. The situation is hardly any better in the psychiatric journals and textbooks, but in that discipline the tide is turning.* (4,14,22) In French's monumental work on the integration of behavior (4) hope is…

Psychological Examination
Augustine impresses me as a lively, active and quite garrulous person who relates himself easily to many people, especially intelligent inquirers. A born teacher, he likes to draw others into the streams and windings of his thought, leading his readers on with probing questions, while freely expressing his own doubts and uncertainties. He is unquestionably a leader, whose language and ideas are imposing, if not commanding, so that others are like…

Anxiety, Guilt, and Shame in the Atonement
“If mental health is a Christian value and mental hygiene one practical concern of the church (as many churchmen now hold), Christian education in the churches must be enlightened, among other things, by the data of religious psychopathology and the psychology of religion. If man's redemption is to be proclaimed, it is important that not only the positive symbol values, but also the limitations and even the dangers of each of the [three] atonemen…

“The regeneration of willing, which is perhaps the most crucial concept in his [Calvin's] doctrine of man, is a complicated affair which requires an intricate psychological theory. ...For the will to be regenerated much more is needed than an infusion of new power (perhaps from a new power source), or the furnishing of more suitable objects, or a better and wiser law, or any process of molding or curbing. What is required is a replacement of the …
