ABSTRACT From the 1970s the emergence of religion and spirituality in psychoanalysis is a unique development, given its traditional pathologizing stance. This research examines how and why ‘sacred psychoanalysis’ came about and whether this represents a new analytic movement with definable features or a diffuse phenomena within psychoanalysis that parallels developments elsewhere. After identifying the research context, a discussion of definitions and qualitative reflexive methodology follows. An account of religious and spiritual engagement in psychoanalysis in the UK and the USA provides a narrative of key people and texts, with a focus on the theoretical foundations established by Winnicott and Bion. This leads to a detailed examination of the literary narratives of religious and spiritual engagement understood from: Christian; Natural; Maternal; Jewish; Buddhist; Hindu; Muslim; Mystical; and Intersubjective perspectives, synthesized into an interpretative framework of sacred psychoanalysis.

  • Notes for Teachers by Miquette Roberts 2 1
    Lucian Freud 20 June – 22 September 2002 Sponsored by UBS Warburg Notes for Teachers by Miquette Roberts Lucian Freud The artist’s reputation Introduction Aged eighty this year, Lucian Freud, painter of portraits, nudes and some still lifes, continues to pursue a demanding schedule of work. It is now more than a decade since he was first acclaimed by the critic and historian Robert Hughes as ‘the greatest living realist painter’ and similar accolades have proliferated ever since. For example the press release for this exhibition tells us that he has ‘redefined portraiture’. Students should bear these claims in mind as they view the exhibition and try to decide for themselves why Freud’s work should be so highly valued. For their assessment to be meaningful, they need to consider the social and historical background to his painting, described in these pages, as well as comparing it with work by other artists on view at Tate Britain, Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery. This booklet is intended mainly for teachers of secondary students although primary teachers could adapt some of its themes. It includes two interviews, one with Sue Tilley who has modelled for the artist and the other with Mary Horlock, one of the curators of the exhibition. 1 This exhibition focuses on portraits and nudes. Think about these two genres. • What do you expect of a portrait? Why do you think it is such a popular genre? There is a long tradition in art of male artists painting beautiful naked women. You can find examples in the National Gallery, by Titian for instance.
