What is Minding Spirituality : Perspectives from Relational Psychoanalysis about?

<p>In <i>Minding Spirituality</i>, Randall Sorenson, a clinical psychoanalyst, invites us to take an interest in our patients' spirituality that is respectful but not diffident, curious but not reductionistic, welcoming but not indoctrinating. Out of this invitation emerges a fascinating and broadening investigation of how contemporary psychoanalysis can mind spirituality in the threefold sense of being bothered by it, of attending to it, and of cultivating it. <P> Both the questions Sorenson asks, and the answers he begins to formulate, reflect progressive changes in the psychoanalytic understanding of spirituality. These changes, in turn, reflect the transformation of psychoanalysis over the past several decades and give rise to this examination of spirituality from a contemporary relational perspective. Sorenson begins by quantitatively analyzing 75 years of journal literature and documenting how psychoanalytic approaches to religious and spiritual experiences have evolved far beyond the wholesale pathologizing of religion prevalent during Freud's lifetime. Then, in successive chapters, he explores and illustrates the kind of clinical technique appropriate to the modern treatmen
