Psychoanalysis leads to the real motives in behavior, in contrast with supposed or professed motives. It may thus serve to reveal a person's true self, and so reinforce religious self-searching. Psychoanalysis would clarify religious controversy by disclosing the actual motives lying behind religious attitudes. The real reasons for the success or the failure of devices in religious education would appear. Mixed or obscured motives in the teacher could be evaluated in the interests of a more sincere educational process. A suggested list of subconscious interests in religious belief and action is given to indicate the direction in which inquiry would be led. A new technique for religious development would be made possible by an understanding of sublimation
