PSYCHOLOGY AND THE CLASSICS GEBUNDEN

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.
