“God does not fall from the sky”: No person believes in God when they are born. Only when they gain access to the world of words can parents introduce them to their God. From there on, religious feeling will be associated with the representation of death and will accompany the child into adulthood. This journey will be determined by neurological, social, and psychological factors.

In the book “The Psychotherapy of God,” neuropsychiatrist Boris Cyrulnik, based on long-term studies, examines precisely this connection between religion and the depths of our existence. Thus, he composes one of the most comprehensive studies on the sensitive topic of religious faith, without neglecting to address critical issues such as religious fanaticism and ecstasy in an always objective manner.
