#redirect An original [[work]] of applied [[psychoanalysis]], <i>[[Hamlet]] and Oedipus</i> was initially published in 1910 as an article in the <i>American Journal of [[Psychology]]</i> with the title "The Oedipus [[Complex]] as an Explanation of the 'Mystery of Hamlet."' It was translated into [[German]] in 1911 in a brochure in the series <i>Schriften zur angewandten Seelekunde</i> as "Das Problem des Hamlet und der Oedipus Komplex." In 1923 it appeared as the first chapter of <i>Essays in Applied Psychoanalysis</i> (Hogarth Press, [[London]], 1964) as "A [[Psychoanalytic]] Study of Hamlet." In its current [[form]] the work appeared in 1949 as <i>[[Hamlet and Oedipus]]</i>, together with an essay on the [[interpretation]] of Hamlet, an article on "The [[Death]] of Hamlet's [[Father]]" signed by [[Jones]], and an article by Ella Freeman Sharpe, "The Impatience of Hamlet," which had previously appeared in 1929 in the <i>International Journal of [[Psycho]]-[[Analysis]]</i>. There are eight chapters in the book, which is an attempt to spread Sigmund [[Freud]]'s [[ideas]] and improve the [[recognition]] of psychoanalysis as a [[science]]. With respect to Freud, aside from the theme of parricide, the [[author]] also discussed matricide, and the [[homosexual]] and homicidal [[nature]] of the son's [[aggression]] toward the father. Sharpe's essay continues Jones's work through reference to [[libidinal]] [[development]], [[regression]], and [[pregenital]] attachment, and shows how the difficult confrontation with the [[oedipal]] [[conflict]] results in procrastination and its transformation into blind [[action]] and [[violence]]. ==See Also==* [[Applied psychoanalysis and the interaction of psychoanalysis]]* [[Ernest Jones]] * [[Kurt Robert Eissler]] * [[Literary and artistic creation]]* [[Parricide]]* [[Phantom]]* ''[[Ornicar?]]''* [[Shakespeare and psychoanalysis]] ==References==<references/> [[Category:Psychoanalysis]][[Category:Sigmund Freud]][[Category:Jacques Lacan]][[Category:Literature]][[Category:Culture]]
