In the Image of God: A Psychoanalyst’s View

In the Image of God is a compilation of lectures by Stanley Leavy, a psychoanalyst approaching retirement, reflecting on his experience as a follower of Freud and his method and also as a lifelong, faithful Episcopalian. The overarching idea linking the individual lectures is Leavy’s belief that the deliberate study of the operations of the mind must yield results that are not just compatible with religious faith but amplify it, eschewing the faith versus science argument for a more inclusive worldview.
