SpringerBriefs in Psychology Acting Out and Sin - Henry Kellerman Kartoniert (TB)

This brief treatise explores the common threads to psychoanalytic thought and theological theory. It uses a psychoanalytic lens to examine Judeo Christian concepts of individual will consciousness and the unconscious and the apparent confounding idea of sin. What is new is that the definition of sin is revealed as a psychoanalytic translation of acting-out. Focusing on the behavior of acting-out it illuminates ideas that are part of Western cultural tradition providing insights to those interested in the psychology and its history and philosophy. As such it is a highly relevant work for ps ychologists psychiatrists and psychoanalysts as well as for a comparative study of psychoanalytic and theological intersecting structures.
