However, in recent years, a new analytic approach is emerging, which recognizes faith and spirituality as crucial parts of full, satisfying psychic life. This book explores the unique ways in which this approach refers to and understands core analytic issues such as transference, interpretation, psychopathology and psychic development. It goes on to expound the approach's understanding of the analytic relationship and the way it influences the spiritual person. It also discusses the tensions arising between this emerging school of thought and the existing body of psychoanalytic knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsychoanalysis is a practice that deals with the mo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A moving, searching book in which psychoanalysis and spirituality nourish, add to and enrich one another as complex, multidimensional realities continue to grow. Through interaction of overlapping experiential practices, possibilities of the human find new life.

He recognises that there has been a ‘spiritual turn’ in psychoanalytic therapy. He didn’t invent spiritually-sensitive psychoanalysis. But his achievement is to demonstrate a deep understanding that there remains a pressing need to mainstream this turn so that it ceases to be niche, or remain the property of ‘transpersonal’ or ‘Jungian’ therapies. The original way in which the book is structured achieves this important and timely goal. Of equal significance is the broad range of spiritual and religious traditions upon which Lev draws. This represents a necessary ecumenicalism. At a time when the fastest growing approach to spirituality is termed SBNR (spiritual but not religious), it is the moment for psychoanalysis to make a somewhat different contribution than it has up to now. Maybe spiritually-sensitive psychoanalysis is a new tradition within which spirit coils weaves its web? And maybe this book will find its way onto all relevant reading lists?'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Samuels\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eauthor of \u003c\/em\u003ePersons, Passions, Psychotherapy, Politics\u003cem\u003e and \u003c\/em\u003eA New Anatomy of Spirituality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: A breath of life \u003cstrong\u003ePart I - Spirituality in context\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.
