Psychiatry on the Stage: Exploring the Connections between Psychiatry and Theater

By Carol Berman
Psychology and theater have long intersected to describe characters, situations, and interactions. Neuroscience is discovering how the brain desires patterns found in theater and other art forms. Practitioners in psychiatry often refer to literature and drama to better understand patients. For instance, the Oedipal complex was first illustrated in Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, and Sigmund Freud derived his understanding of psychiatric disorders from his familiarity with Greek mythology.

Psychiatry on the Stage presents basic psychiatric principles applied to plays from the Greeks to modern times. This book includes illustrative vignettes from the author’s practice and detailed indexes of plays, corresponding playwrights, and psychiatric and neurological disorders. Dr. Berman, a board-certified psychiatrist and playwright, is uniquely qualified to explore the connections between psychiatry and theater. This book is appealing to both practitioners in the field of psychiatry and theater enthusiasts alike.
