Abstract "While Freud put ancient literature to profitable use, many classic scholars have not been so keen on using psychology. Gradually, though, this is changing: current psychological paradigms offer new approaches in the reading of the Classics, and classical ideas can still inspire reflections on therapeutic practice and the relation between body and mind. This book advocates the merits of marrying both disciplines through a wealth of perspectives"-- Provided by publisher.
