Description
Derek Russell Davis argues that mental health professionals working in a hospital or clinic setting can learn much from playwrights about the psychological process in mental illness. Looking at such diverse characters as Orestes, Hamlet, King Lear, Ophelia, Peer Gynt, Oswald Alving and Blanche Dubois, Davis shows how madness in plays is put into the crucial experiences of an individual's history and current relationships, and demonstrates that these stories can be an exciting source of insight into mental illness.
