Summary/Abstract: Ignoring the subconscious in the study of Theology. Eugen Drewermann and the objective of self-knowledge. We named our study “Ignoring the subconscious in the study of Theology” because any graduate of a Theological Faculty is aware of the fact that along his theological studies, the term “subconscious” was never an issue even in studies such as Christian Ethics, Spiritual Development and Pastoral, where its use would have been justified. That's because it brings into question a reality not so much discussed in Theology, despite its importance. This is partially explained by the camouflaged denial of Freud (who was the initiator of focusing the attention on the subconscious) by theologians, generally because he was accused of an unacceptable pan-sexualism. More precisely, the situation is the result of an insufficient interdisciplinary dialog between theology and psychology.
