| Summary: | The author asks: Can psychology escape giving an account of the multiple ways in which religion influences it as both a science and a professional practice? Examining the psychologies of Freud, Rogers, Maslow, Erikson, Kohut, and Skinner, he finds religious themes in each, expressed in various narratives and metaphors. He argues, not for a religious psychology, but in favor of a religiously informed philosophical anthropology for psychological practice. |
