Mrs. Zilboorg explains her
late husband's religious atti-
tudes. He became convinced in
1953 that he wanted to be a
Catholic and a year later he
embraced Catholicism. "Gre-

good psychoanalyst and a good
Catholic."

was influenzed by his conver-
sions in his criticisms of Freud.
It is certain that Zilboorg's

It is an interesting study in con-
flicts over Freud's faith and
science and over the religious
isssues when they conflict with
science.
