Derek Russell Davis argues that mental health professionals working
in a hospital or clinic setting can learn much from playwrights
about the psychological processes in mental illness. Looking at
such diverse characters as Orestes, Hamlet, Lear, Ophelia, Peer
Gynt, Oswald Alving and Blanche Dubois, Dr Davis shows how madness
in plays is put into the context of the crucial experiences in an
individual's history and current relationships, and demonstrates
that these stories can be a new and exciting source of insight into
mental illness.
