Description

Explore a profound shift in psychoanalytic thought with Oedipus and the Oedipus Complex: A Revision by Routledge. In modern psychology, Freud's interpretation of the Oedipus complex often takes precedence over the original myths. This book challenges that standard approach by reversing the perspective. Instead of using the complex to explain the myth, the authors use the Oedipus myths to interpret the complex. This academic work unmasks the traditional Oedipus complex, suggesting it may act as a cover story for a different psychological drama. The text argues that the myths and Sophocles' drama do not actually show Oedipus being enamored of Jocasta from birth. Instead, the authors reveal the situation as a drama staged by Jocasta and Laius. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in clinical psychology and the intersection of classical mythology and psychoanalytic theory.

Key Features

Provides a scholarly critique of how contemporary psychoanalytic thought views ancient Greek mythology.
