- Abstract:
- Psychoanalysis and its father in the West, Sigmund Freud, have often been seen as the antitheses of religion and faith. This book seeks to dispel this misconception and place Freud and psychoanalysis as hopes to the faithful and the hedonist alike. Ethics and morality do not get compromised and unethical and immoral behaviour do not get free licence under Freud’s teachings. The result of two lectures and one interview of Jacques Lacan, this book is a timely addition to the English literature on and by Lacan as it gives hope to the many psychoanalysts long caught in the dilemma of choosing religion or psychoanalysis primarily because of the either/or dichotomy between these two choices as presented by scholars of either field.
