While the field of classics has informed and influenced the early
developments of the field of psychology, these two disciplines
presently enjoy fewer fruitful cross-fertilizations than one would
expect. This book shows how the study of classics can help
psychologists anchor their scientific findings in a historical,
literary and philosophical framework, while insights of
contemporary psychology offer new hermeneutic methods and
explanations to classicists. This book is the first to date to
offer a wide-ranging overview of the possibilities of marrying
contemporary trends in psychology and classical studies. Advocating
a critical dialogue between both disciplines, it offers novel
reflections on psychotherapy, ancient philosophy, social
psychology, literature and its theory, historiography,
psychoanalysis, tragedy, the philosophy of mind, linguistics and
reception. With twenty contributions by specialists in different
fields, it promotes the combination of classical and psychological
perspectives, and demonstrates the methods and rewards of such an
endeavour through concrete case studies. This pioneering book is
thus intended for all readers who seek inspiration for their
readings, research, or therapeutic practice.
