商品描述

This nonfiction book addresses the question of what relevance religiosity still holds today and where psychologists set up warning signs. Religions today have a Janus-faced character: On the one hand, they offer emotional support and assistance (not only) in crisis situations - on the other hand, suicide attacks are carried out in their name, and under their guise, sexual abuse of children has flourished (or continues to do so). Religions have lost their innocence worldwide. But what exactly are religions? How did they arise? How have they changed over time? What are the positive aspects of religions - and what are the problematic ones? Where do they help, and where do they harm? What distinguishes them - and what do they have in common?

Contents:

Religions: World-explaining and meaning-making systems that almost always consider themselves the one true, eternal, and ultimate explanation system. - They structure diffuse, subjective inner truths and unstructured situations, attempting to make the incomprehensible comprehensible. - Basic trust, symbols, ritual actions. - What are spiritual enlightenment experiences? - The origin of all religions is fear, emptiness, meaninglessness, and death. - Religions are good guides in the dark of night - during the day, it's better to rely on your own eyes.

Werner Gross, Dipl.-Psych., psychotherapist, supervisor, and coach.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本非小說類書籍探討了宗教在當今社會的相關性以及心理學家所設置的警示標誌。當今的宗教具有雙面性：一方面，它們在危機情況下提供情感支持和幫助（不僅僅是在危機中）——另一方面，以其名義進行自殺攻擊，並在其掩護下，兒童性虐待現象猖獗（或仍在持續）。宗教在全球範圍內已失去其純真。但宗教究竟是什麼？它們是如何產生的？隨著時間的推移，它們又是如何變化的？宗教的正面方面是什麼——而問題又在哪裡？它們在哪裡提供幫助，又在哪裡造成傷害？它們有什麼區別——又有什麼共同之處？

內容：
宗教：解釋世界和賦予意義的系統，幾乎總是自認為是唯一真實、永恆和終極的解釋系統。——它們結構模糊的、主觀的內在真理和無結構的情境，試圖使不可理解的事物變得可理解。——基本信任、符號、儀式行為。——什麼是精神啟蒙經驗？——所有宗教的起源是恐懼、空虛、無意義和死亡。——宗教在黑暗的夜晚是良好的指引——而在白天，依賴自己的眼睛更為妥當。

關於作者：
維爾納·格羅斯（Werner Gross），心理學碩士，心理治療師、督導及教練。
