Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition

A pioneering scholarly investigation into the intersection of personality and cultural history, this study asserts that Freudian psychology is rooted in Judaism -- particularly, in the mysticism of the Kabbalah. It examines how Freud's Jewish heritage contributed, either consciously or unconsciously, to his psychological theories and clarifies the foundations of modern psychoanalysis.Bakan, David is the author of 'Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition', published 2005 under ISBN 9780486437675 and ISBN 0486437671.
