In the original section of the book, now entitled \"God--An Infantile Illusion?,\" Hans Kung traces Freud's views on religion and religious longing, compares Jung's and Adler's attitudes toward religion, shows that Freud's arguments against the existence of God are theologically unsound, and concludes with a frank and provocative discussion of what psychoanalysis may be able to teach the Christian Church. In a new section, \"Religion--The Final Taboo?,\" Kung points out that religions still plays a negligible role in the practice of psychoanalysis, despite its increasing importance in the lives of most people. Has religion replaced sex, Kung asks, as an integral facet of human experience ignored or repressed by the very profession that seeks to enlighten?\u003cbr\u003eReviews of the first edition: \u003cbr\u003e\"This should stand as one of Dr. Kung's finest works.\"--Edmund Fuller, \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A balanced, thorough, and very readable discussion of Freud's critique of religion...
