In the original section of the book, now entitled God-An Infantile Illusion?, Hans Kng traces Freuds views on religion and religious longing, compares Jungs and Adlers attitudes toward religion, shows that Freuds arguments against the existence of God are theologically unsound, and concludes with a frank and provocative discussion of what psychoanalysis may be able to teach the Christian Church. In a new section, Religion-The Final Taboo?, Kng points out that religions still plays a negligible role in the practice of psychoanalysis, despite its increasing importance in the lives of most people. Has religion replaced sex, Kng asks, as an integral facet of human experience ignored or repressed by the very profession that seeks to enlighten?Reviews of the first edition:This should stand as one of Dr. Kngs finest works.-Edmund Fuller, Wall Street JournalA balanced, thorough, and very readable discussion of Freuds critique of religion A model of the clarity, honesty, and fairness we can always expect to find in Kngs writings. -John F.
