The remarkable legacy of Victor White, O.P., is that he brought the two sciences together in an achievement of sympathetic harmony and provocative insight, combining “his two interests of modern psychology with the \u003ci\u003esana doctrina\u003c\/i\u003e of St. Thomas, trying to sift out what is good in modern psychology,” especially in the thought of C. G. Jung. Providing the clearest, most empathic presentation of the fruits of that lifelong pursuit, \u003ci\u003eSoul and Psyche\u003c\/i\u003e covers a wide and varied terrain of topics, including the common ground of religion and psychology; the Jungian app­roach to religion; the places of dogma and symbol in Christianity and psychology, respectively; the similarities and differences in the roles of confessor and therapist; the distinction between health (both physical and mental) and holiness; and the salutary psychological effects of religious practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eReligion can no more exclude from the soul what belongs to the psyche than psychology can exclude from the psyche what traditionally is ascribed to the soul. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Victor White, O.P.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFlannery O’Connor once observed (in reviewing \u003ci\u003eSoul and Psyche\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ethat the idea of religion for too many Catholics “remains trapped at the magical stage by static and superficial images which neither mind nor stomach can any longer take.” As relief for that condition of body, mind, and soul, Victor White’s \u003ci\u003eSoul and Psyche \u003c\/i\u003eremains as effective today as yesterday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVictor White, O.P.\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e(1902–1960) was an English Dominican friar, Reader in Theology at Blackfriars, Oxford, foundation member and lecturer at the Jung Institute of Analytical Psychology, and editor of the journal Dominican Studies.
