Reviews

Psychopathology and Religion is an insightful look at how religion often supplies a horizon upon which to understand the concrete experience, interpretation, and treatment of various forms of psychopathology. It is also a reminder that Freud has made important contributions to the philosophy of religion.
*Patrick Whitehead, Albany State University*

“In a captivating manner, Damian Janus presents unique, creative, and informative conjunctions between psychopathology and religion, including commentary conjoining religion with neurosis, anorexia nervosa with aspirations for godliness, psychosis and narcissism with religiosity, demonic possession, spirits, souls, and immortality with psychopathology.”
