The Pursuit of the Soul: Psychoanalysis, Soul-making and the Christian Tradition

Dr Peter Tyler (St Mary's University College, Twickenham, UK)

One of the most striking features of contemporary psychology is the return of language of the ‘soul’ in contemporary discourse. In this original analysis Dr Peter Tyler investigates the origins and use of ‘soul-language’ in the Christian tradition before turning his attention to the evolution and preoccupations of modern psychoanalysis. In his forensic examination he explores the dynamics of psychoanalysis as a ‘tool to rediscover the soul’ of the 21st century seeker. Central to his book is the perceived clash between analysis and the spiritual tradition. His uncompromising conclusion is that the dialogue of the two in our present time will have far-reaching repercussions for church, society and future human well-being.
