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 \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e creates its realistically flawed and believably complex characters. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCombining deep, insightful knowledge of Shakespeare and of psychoanalysis, \u003ci\u003e Hamlet on the Couch \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as literary scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames E.
