Summary

Until now, no single book has brought together contemporary writers to address the interface of Jewish thought and psychoanalysis. In Judaism and Contemporary Psychoanalysis, the relevance of the Jewish interpretive tradition to the expanding theoretical world of psychoanalysis and its influence on psychoanalysis and the richness of psychoanalytic orientations regarding the intra-psychic and interpersonal are brought together.
