This commentary encourages the already nascent rapprochement between psychoanalysis and religion, arguing that they share a common purpose and could both benefit from closer relations and mutual understanding. The discussion also addresses the specific intersection of analysis and religion in the case presented by Sue Grand in her paper, “God at an Impasse: Devotion, Social Justice, and the Psychoanalytic Subject.” Grand addresses her patient's deep need to help others while seeming incapable of caring for himself. This commentary posits that when balanced with sufficient self-care, a strong impulse to self-sacrifice and self-giving love is a necessary component of a healthy human personality.
