Sigmund Freud saw Judaism's aniconism as "progress in Geistigkeit " on the way to enlightened spirituality, which he believed was the objective of psychoanalysis as a treatment and cultural theory. Unlike the widespread interpretation that equates Freud's critique of religion with psychoanalytical atheism, this volume reveals the significance of the search for the spiritual in current psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
