1. Der Unbewußte Gott. Psychotherapie Und Religion
Psychotherapie Und Religion
Combining existential analysis with clinical insight, the work argues that a hidden, transcendent dimension—the "unconscious God"—shapes human striving for meaning and must be acknowledged in psychotherapy. It defends logotherapy's emphasis on the will to meaning, views many symptoms as arising from an existential vacuum or loss of spiritual orientation, and insists that religious experience often reflects a genuine noetic need rather than pathology. Therapeutic practice, the author maintains, should therefore respect conscience, responsibility, and the search for ultimate values, helping patients discover meaning even amid suffering.
