"But one may discuss religion irrespective of whether it is unconscious or conscius,for the question confronting us more basic and radical. First,we must ask ourselves whether this is a legitimate for psychiatric exploration.Lately,I have come to draw the line of demarcation between religion and psychiatry ever more sharply.I have learned,and taught,that the difference between them is no more nor less than a difference between various dimension.From the very analogy with dimensions,however,it should become clear that these realms are by no means mutually exclusive.A higher dimension,by definition,is a more inclusive one.The lower dimension is included in the higher one;it is subsumed in it and encompassed by it.Thus biology is overarched by psychology,..
The noological dimension may rightly be defined as the dimension of uniquely human phenomena.Among them,there is one that I regard as the most representative of the human reality.I have circumscribed this phenomenon in terms of "man's search for meaning".Now,if this is correct,one may also be justified in defining religion as man's search for ultimate meaning.It wasA. Einstein who once contended that to be religions is to have an answer to the question,"What is the me- aning of life?".If we subscribe to this statement we may then define belief and faith as trust in ultimate meaning.Once we have conceived of religion in this way - that is,in the widest possible sense - there is no doubt that psychiatrist are entitled also to investigate this phenomenon,although only its human aspect is accessible to a psychological exploration"/V.Frankl,"Men's Searching for Ultimate Meaning",p.16 -17/.
Postavio sam ovaj tekst u čast poznatog lekara,književnog kritičara - ili možda najbolje religioznog mislioca - Dr.Vladete Jerotića pošto sam imao priliku da veoma često slušam njegove pohvale upućene psihijatrijskom pravcu i knjigama Dr.Viktora Frankla.Evo jednog odlomka iz eseja Dr.Jerotića:
"Privlačenje koje osećamo od umetnika i umetničkog dela večno je i neodoljivo.Ponešto od njegovih kriza uspevamo da sagledamo, pa i da objasnimo,još uvek najviše uz pomoć psihoanalitičkih pretpostavki.Neurotične i naročito psihološke smetnje umetnika češće su prepreka nego podsticaj na stvaranje.Izgleda nam izvesno da što je veći umetnik,veća je i njegova patnja, a umetničko delo onda doživljavamo kao žrtvu prinetu na oltar opšte ljudske patnje, kao i ublažavanje i osmišljavanje ove patnje.Mi poštujemo i,još više,volimo umetnika, jer on svojim delom postiže nešto čudesno sa nama: da se i mi osetimo umetniku sličnim i,nešto uzvišenije, da osetimo da smo deo univerzuma i njegovog Tvorca."( V.Jerotić: "Kulturološki vid psihoterapije" u "Psihološko i religiozno biće čoveka",str.109,"Beseda",Novi Sad,1994.g.)
