About this book

Birth of the Living God: A Psychoanalytic Study by Rizzuto, Ana-Marie. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780226721002.

Utilizing both clinical material based on the life histories of twenty patients and theoretical insights from the works of Freud, Erikson, Fairbairn, and Winnicott, Ana-Maria Rizzuto examines the origin, development, and use of our God images. Whereas Freud postulated that belief in God is based on a childs idea of his father, Rizzuto argues that the God representation draws from a variety of sources and is a major element in the fabric of ones view of self, others, and the world.
