Presented by Daniel E. Fast, MD, DFAPA,
4/14/2012
Love, that most potent of attracting forces between humans, may be attributed to the actions of gods—both as blessing and curse. Magic has been invoked to both draw people together, to keep them faithful and to render them asunder. Over millennia, supernatural tales enable humans to cope with mental phenomena unexplainable by rational processes. We explore the varieties of magical phenomena in the unconscious and how these are projected into the perceived “real” world. In this brief seminar, we are unable to cover all areas of interest; much will be determined by class interest. We explore the tales of Adam & Eve and other First Man/First Woman myths and tales of distorted sexuality—Minotaur, Medusa, Lamia, and Satyrs. Sexual developmental conflicts are seen in Oedipus, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Red Riding Hood, Snow White and the Wizard of Oz; Great lovers and their struggles: Gilgamesh & Enkidu, Samson & Delilah, Heloïse & Abelard, Romeo & Juliet, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid. An extensive bibliography is provided. Please bring to the class a concise paragraph about a favorite or perplexing myth, a fairy tale, a movie or television show to stimulate our discussions.
