Description
Summary:The title of the symposium offers a note of hope by suggesting that religious development studies could move beyond the modern paradigm. Each author offers his own model and angle of vision in understanding religious and faith development. Each model has its own intrinsic elegance as well as its vulnerable points. The discussion examines each of them from the point of view of psychoanalysis as a theory encompassing an understanding of the mind as dynamically motivated by unconscious and conscious processes of conflict and resolution of conflict in the context of life-giving human relatedness.
