Literature and Psychoanalysis: What do Freud and Dostoevsky have in common?
Did you know that psychoanalysis and literature have a deep and fascinating relationship? In today's video, we'll explore how these two areas intertwine and influence each other. Dive with us into psychoanalytic concepts that originated in literature and discover how psychoanalysis can be a key to understanding great literary works.
These two areas share a common foundation: the word. Literature was a rich source for psychoanalysis; Freud drew inspiration from authors like Shakespeare and Dostoevsky to formulate his theory, and several Freudian concepts come from classical literature, such as narcissism and the Oedipus complex. We also discuss Clarice Lispector, one of the most widely read authors in the context of psychoanalysis. This is because her writing closely resembles the "free association" found in psychoanalytic sessions.
