Clinical psychiatrist discusses the mutually exclusive grounds of religous and psychological concepts about the nature of man.|THE CONFLICT BETWEEN RELIGION AND PSYCHOANALYSIS / Ralph Greenson. - Dr. Ralph Greenson, Professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles, explores various conceptual differences concerning the nature of man. In the early 17th century common thought placed man and earth at the center of the universe. Organized churches have continued to present similar perspectives of man. By the late 19th century, an outbreak of smallpox in Montreal, Canada, killed Catholics who refused to accept recent medical findings about the causes and treatment of disease. This highlights the battle between anit-scientific church thought and a developing secular science. - RECORDED: 5 May 1961. BROADCAST: KPFA, 2 June 1961.
