Abstract
ABSTRACT This article applies contemporary psychoanalytic theory to a rapidly growing category of American religion: the religiously unaffiliated (“nones”) and the “spiritual but not religious.” Drawing on frameworks within Self Psychology, Intersubjective Systems Theory, and relational psychoanalysis, this article suggests an intersubjective dynamic among the “spiritual but not religious” that helps to shape their experience and expression of sacrality. It also explores ways in which this vein of religiosity may come into the room clinically, and makes an argument for paying close attention therein to meanings and calls for mutual experience.
