In search of psychoanalytic pluralism: an inquiry into time, money, and love.
This essay examines religious studies scholarship that has relied heavily upon the work of Sigmund Freud and attempts to show its weakness by offering a self psychological reading to complement each text. In doing this, I inquire into the scholarly tendency to avoid pluralistic use of meta-psychologies, arguing that the well-being of the field is weakened by such scholarly fixations. The essay draws its concluding observations largely on trends in scholarly literature, inquiring into the nature and quality of the use of multiple meta-psychologies in scholarly monographs.
