Sigmund Freud believed that regression to primitive behavior was a pathological escape from reality. However all religions, in some manner or another, have urged their adherents to return to a simple way of being. Some have declared childlike behavior to be a high form of holiness. So is religion pathological or not? Or better yet, how and when does religious regression support psychological growth, and when does it not?The Recovery of Self is a pioneering study of regression in religious experience. It maintains that certain kinds of regression offer opportunities to confront unresolved childhood processes and repair them. Just as an artist may be put in touch with his or her primal self during the creative process, so a religious seeker can journey backward into primitive modes of being and recover there a sense of original unity which, when carried into the present, can be redemptive and transforming.

I had high hopes for this book, but it didn’t resonate with me. The concepts are intriguing, but the writing didn't engage me as much as I wanted. I’d suggest it to someone well-versed in religious studies, though.

Interesting but Lacks Depth at Times
I enjoyed parts of the book, especially the focus on self-regression, but some sections felt a bit too philosophical for my taste. It’s a good read if you're into theology, but I was hoping for more concrete examples.

A Thought-Provoking Perspective
I found 'The Recovery of Self' to be incredibly insightful! The reflections on redemption were moving and relevant, especially in today's world. It’s a book I'll be recommending to friends who are exploring their own beliefs.

This book offers a compelling exploration of redemption through personal narratives. I found the discussion on religious experience particularly enlightening. Definitely a thought-provoking read for anyone on a spiritual journey!
