"This work is of importance for psychoanalysts and scholars of the psychology of religion. Kakar makes a scholarly and significant contribution to the objectification of what psychoanalysis and Hindu mystical tradition have in common."—Ana Maria Rizzuto, Tufts University

4.0 out of 5 stars
Classic approach to Indian Psyche.,
By harish purohit (saudi arabia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Analyst and the Mystic: Psychoanalytic Reflections on Religion and Mysticism (Hardcover)
I first read about sudhir kakkar in 1996. Ordered all his works the very next day. To write exceptionally, its an excellent read. Reasoning is very sensible. Although some of the studies are as old as a decade (even more), the analysis is just as valid now. I have never read anything else with reasoning as subjective as this work. Sudhir's work creats interest in every subject.
