Review
Another creative triumph from Michael Jacobs! You will discover as much about yourself as you do about Shakespeare's characters. There's a compassion for human frailties in these pages plus a demand that we all - not just therapist - shape up. In struggling to hold these two opposite positions, Jacobs reveals himself as a true Shakespearean - anf the Bard's similar struggle is a model for today's psychotherapist and counsellors. --Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex
Already reknowed for books that make psychodynamic thinking highly accessible, Michael Jacobs now offers an original approach to Shakespeare's stories and characters - making them more authentically psychological than ever. Such an analysis has been attempted before, but never in such a down-to-earth, readable fashion. Jacobs knows his Shakespeare and he knows psychodynamic psychotherapy from years of experience. So many of us - wether we are exploring Shakespeare, human psychology and therapy, or the interface between art and the mind - will all benefit from reading this fascinating work. --Christopher Hauke, Psychotherapist, Goldsmiths College, University of London
Product Description
Drawing upon a vast literature in psychoanalytic journals either on Shakespeare s characters, or alluding to them in the course of other topics, this book discusses eight of Shakespeare s plays, and the relationships between the main characters in them. Psychoanalytic and literary approaches sometimes diverge, but they can concur in seeing characters as true-to-life examples of different psychological states and types of relating; or as symbolic aspects of the personality. The chapters contain references from Freud onwards, and reflect many different opinions, some questionable, some convincing; the characters examined will surely ring bells in the reader. The book is relevant therefore to counsellors and therapists, but also to those interested in literature and Shakespearean studies. Written for the thinking lay person, it does not blind the reader with psychoanalytic terminology and concepts, but uses them deftly to observe some of the emotions and conflicts to which we are all to some extent prey.
