Man in the Yellow Hat Theology and Psychoanalysis in Child Therapy

Psychotherapist Dorothy W. Martyn reverses the way in which psychoanalyticpsychology and Christian theology have usually been related to one another. Withfew exceptions, priority has been granted to psychology: infantile needs andwishes spawn religious ideas; from one's life experience one can proceed to anunderstanding of God. Tracing the therapeutic journeys of three children, Martynfinds crucial illumination in the insights of Freud, Jung, Winnicott, Klein, andothers. But she sees the power that evokes emotional growth in the therapeuticrelationship as deriving from motifs of Christian theology that deepen ourunderstanding of authentic parental love.Martyn, Dorothy is the author of 'Man in the Yellow Hat Theology and Psychoanalysis in Child Therapy' with ISBN 9781555406318 and ISBN 1555406319.
