Sigmund Freud and Oskar Pfister on Religion examines the dialogue between psychoanalysis and religion through the encounters of two men: the "unfaithful Jew" who founded psychoanalysis, and a pastor of profound religious faith and proven psychoanalytic conviction.

Carlos Domínguez-Morano analyses the original encounters between Freud and Pfister and their respective positions, noting the incidences, impasses and progress of their discussions. The complex interactions between psychoanalysis and religion over time are considered, and Domínguez-Morano assesses the fundamental parameters of each perspective, with reference to Catholicism. The book explores the relationship between psychoanalysis and religion as a rich, ongoing and unending dialogue and sheds new light on the origins of psychoanalysis.

Sigmund Freud and Oskar Pfister on Religion will be of great interest to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, religion, the history of psychology and the history of ideas.

Reviews and Endorsements

'This brief treatise whets the appetite for knowing more about Oscar Pfister… More than that, however, it is a thoughtful introduction to ‘The Great Dialogue’ between religion and psychoanalysis… I highly recommend it.'
Leonardo M. Marmol in The International Journal for the Psychology of Religion (review of the Spanish edition, Psicoanálisis y religion: Sigmund Freud y Oskar Pfister, published by Editorial Trotta)
