Hamlet on the Couch weaves a close reading of Shakespeare's Hamlet
with a large variety of contemporary psychoanalytic and
psychological theory, looking at the interplay of ideas between the
two. Hamlet can be read almost as a psychoanalytic case study and
be used to understand and illustrate a range of core psychoanalytic
concepts. Covering such basic psychoanalytic concepts as identity,
transference and countertransference, the 'good-enough' mother, the
compulsion to repeat and the death instinct, James E. Groves shows
how Hamlet can shed new light on understanding psychoanalytic
theory, and how psychoanalysis can in turn enrich our understanding
of Shakespeare's work. Perhaps the most radical feature of
psychoanalysis is its tradition of self-examination. Mirroring it,
the book throughout uses an eclectic, subjective critical approach
to study how the poetry of Hamlet creates its realistically flawed
and believably complex characters. Combining deep, insightful
knowledge of Shakespeare and of psychoanalysis, Hamlet on the Couch
will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic
psychotherapists, as well as literary scholars.
