Freud's Converts

Author(s) : Vicki Clifford

Reviews and Endorsements

'Freud, as Auden pointed out, was more than a mere person, but became a "whole climate of opinion". This climate survives, as Dr Clifford shows, partly because psychoanalysis shares many of the features of religious movements and, like religion, is concerned with the healing of souls. This book is a highly readable and quite fascinating account of this issue.Written with insight and humanity, Dr Clifford's fascinating book deserves this accolade: it casts light; it illuminates.'
-Alexander McCall Smith, Professor of Medical Law at the University of Edinburgh; Author of The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series

'Vicki Clifford has written an intriguing and engaging book that invites us to re-visit the relationship that Freud, Rogers and their followers have with religion and spirituality. This remains a hot topic and it has a special importance for the best practice of psychotherapy which still needs to recognise and honour the role of spirituality in healthy human living.'
- William West, Reader in Counselling Studies, University of Manchester
