Taking Psychoanalytic and Psychometric Perspectives toward a Binocular Vision of Religion

Psychoanalytic and Psychometric Perspectives on Religion suggests to combine perspectives from psychoanalysis and academic psychology, from nomothetic and idiothetic research, for more depth of vision for the current psychology of religion.
In this interdisciplinary study, Barbara Keller demonstrates the potential of integrative perspectives by analysing topics such as religious development, religion and personality, and the process of working with religious issues in psychotherapy. Options for the study of lived religion are discussed, taking into consideration North American and European contexts of religious experience and of psychological and psychoanalytic discussion.
