Abstract
ABSTRACT Reflecting on developments that have occurred in the twenty years since 9/11, this paper attempts to refine a conception of what might be called psychoanalytic secularism. It does so by addressing a specific question: How can the field do justice to the demands that are raised by religion without violating the standpoint of science? Following Loewald, it argues not only that the profession’s historical failure to do justice to the topic of religion was a result of its general adherence to Freud’s “official” position, but also that the preoedipal turn has provided us with the resources to correct that failure which does not abandon a scientific stance.
期刊介绍：
The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child is recognized as a preeminent source of contemporary psychoanalytic thought. Published annually, it focuses on presenting carefully selected and edited representative articles featuring ongoing analytic research as well as clinical and theoretical contributions for use in the treatment of adults and children. Initiated in 1945, under the early leadership of Anna Freud, Kurt and Ruth Eissler, Marianne and Ernst Kris, this series of volumes soon established itself as a leading reference source of study. To look at its contributors is to be confronted with the names of a stellar list of creative, scholarly pioneers who willed a rich heritage of information about the development and disorders of children and their influence on the treatment of adults as well as children. An innovative section, The Child Analyst at Work, periodically provides a forum for dialogue and discussion of clinical process from multiple viewpoints.
