Description

Hamlet on the Couch merges Shakespeare's classic tragedy with modern psychoanalytic theory, treating the Danish prince's psychological struggles as a case study for understanding core psychoanalytic concepts. James E. Groves explores how Hamlet illuminates identity, transference, countertransference, the good-enough mother, compulsion to repeat, and the death instinct, demonstrating the profound connection between literary analysis and psychological theory. This Routledge book bridges the gap between Renaissance drama and contemporary psychology, offering readers fresh insights into both Shakespeare's masterpiece and foundational psychoanalytic ideas. Ideal for students of literature, psychology, and psychoanalysis seeking to understand how great works of art reflect and advance psychological thinking.

Key Features

Hamlet on the Couch examines transference and countertransference dynamics through Shakespeare's character interactions and relationships.

The book covers the good-enough mother concept and its relevance to Hamlet's complex attachment to Gertrude.

James E. Groves traces the compulsion to repeat throughout Hamlet's actions and psychological patterns in the play.

Routledge's publication provides a close reading that treats Hamlet as a psychoanalytic case study for core theoretical concepts.

The work explores identity formation and the death instinct through Shakespeare's examination of mortality and existential conflict.
