Mary, dogma and psychoanalysis
- Why does Mary hold her prominent place in Catholic theology to the extent that five specific dogmas have developed around her? psychoanalytic theory suggests dogma arises out of the psychic needs of people and psychic needs of people are expressed in dogma. The early views of Erich FROMM, a disciple of Freud, are presented to demonstrate that Marian dogma arose from the psychic needs of the people. The views of both Catholic and Protestant thinkers are presented, as well as theological and psychiatric views.
