Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis

This event addresses: Psychological Complexity in Shakespeare

Richard Waugaman, MD will present excerpts from his chapter on “Psychological Complexity in Shakespeare,” to be published by Routledge in a book on psychoanalytic approaches to Shakespeare. Psychoanalysis has helped illuminate the astonishing complexity of Shakespeare, arguably the greatest creative writer in history. Exploring various dimensions of Shakespeare’s complexity will highlight his psychological insights, and help explain his astonishingly universal appeal–across the centuries, across the globe, across social classes, and across all age groups.
