For many years psychoanalysts and literary scholars have written books, such as Bruno Bettelheim’s, “Freud and Man’s Soul,“ Elio Frattaroli‘s, “Healing the Soul in the Age of the Brain,“ and Meg Harris Williams’, “The Vale of Soulmaking: the Post-Kleinian Model of the Mind and Its Poetic Origins.” What are we to think of this idea of clinical psychoanalysis as a soul-making activity?

Donald Carveth, PhD, RP, FIPA is emeritus professor of Sociology and Social and Political Thought, York university, and a training and supervising analyst in the Canadian Institute of Psychoanalysis.

Stephen Fowler, MD, FIPA Having worked as an Emergency Physician for thirty years and as a psychoanalyst in private practice for fifteen, Stephen has had a longstanding commitment to exploring how psychoanalysis and Christianity can mutually benefit each other. His book, Probing the Mind to Free the Soul: Toward a Psychoanalytic Protest Theology, was published in 2017.

With Vivienne Pasieka, PhD, psychoanalyst, moderating.
