Hiltner, a clergyman and editor of the journal, Pastoral Psychiatry, most critically scrutinizes some misrepresenting and hideous attacks made in the name of religion on psychoanalysis. He states that 'when Freud wrote of religion, he selected for criticism many of the same things which progressive religionists were suspicious about'. With sincere recognition of what the clergy has to learn from psychoanalysis, Hiltner regrets the 'unhappy divisions' between the two. In the field of psychoanalysis there is an absence of work in an ecumenical direction compared to that which has been accomplished in Protestantism.
