Reviews

"This book will prompt teachers of theology to reflect on the ways by which they might help their students engage Freud as a preacher of the mystery of human life." --Teaching Theology and Religion
"The writing is remarkably engaging, reflecting the suthor's engagement with both their subjects and their students. Teachers planning courses on psychoanalytic theory will find the volume to be an invaluable aid. In addition, theorists in several fields will appreciate the depth of insight conveyed by accomplished scholars who have spent decades thinking about what Freud means in both their lives and their work." --Religious Studies Review
