| Summary: | This article discusses the questions: whether psychology permits the affirmation of mind; whether mind can be viewed as a function of physiological activity; whether Freudianism is a safe guide to the understanding of mind; whether mental activity is mechanistic. The positive service of psychology in determining the scope and the function of religion is set forth. Special attention is given to the psychological understanding of the problems of adolescence and of therapeutics. The conclusion is "that psychology leaves religion living, with new means for its great work, and with fresh confidence in the naturalness and the need of the religious life." |
