Review
The Other Freud is a highly original and important book.
–Charles Winquist, Syracuse University
In this careful examination of Freud's legacy, DiCenso offers an exceptionally clear and balanced introduction to the psychoanalysis of religion as a cultural and ethical phenomenon, revealing Freud's blind spots as well as his deepest insights.
–Choice, November 1999

–Diane Jonte-Pace, Santa Clara University
This is a landmark in the confluence of Freud studies and Religious studies, and perhaps the most important book in that area since Ricoeur's Freud and Philosophy.

Product Description
The Other Freud undertakes an exciting and original analysis of Freud's major writings on religion and culture. James DiCenso suggests that Freud's texts on religion are unjustifiably ignored or taken for granted, and he shows that Freud's commentary on religion are rich, multifaceted texts, and deserve far more attention.
Using concepts derived primarily from Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva, DiCenso draws an unparalleled critical portrait of the "other Freud". This book is rich with new ideas and fresh interpretations.
