Symbols of the Kabbalah: Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives provides a philosophical and psychological interpretation of the major symbols of the theosophical Kabbalah. It shows that the Kabbalah, particularly as it is expressed in the school of Isaac Luria, provides a coherent and comprehensive account of the cosmos, and humanity's role within it, that is intellectually, morally, and spiritually significant for contemporary life.

Drob's work is a blend of Jewish Mysticism, psychology and contemporary philosophy. An introductory chapter provides a rationale for understanding the theosophical kabbalah in philosophical and psychological terms, and subsequent chapters each focus on a key Kabbalistic symbol: Ein-sof, Tzimtzum, Sefirot, Shevirah, Tikkun, etc. The overall result is a comprehensive Jewish mystical theology that provides rational/mystical answers to questions about the existence and nature of God, the creation of the world, the meaning of life, the existence of evil, and the purpose of individual human existence. Drob relates the Kabbalah to the work of Freud, Hegel, Jung, Derrida, etc. A serious and detailed treatment
By far and away the best I have read on the subject. Drob is articulate, informed, humane, and almost always profound.
This is an essential book for a psychologist-kabbalist.
excellent
