Dostoyevsky's Stalker and Other Essays on Psychopathology and the Arts

By Michael Sperber

This book examines the arts over the course of modern history to illuminate psychiatry and psychoanalysis, and how these disciplines may elucidate works of literature, art, and cinema. These essays propose a paradigm shift in psychiatry, based on the idea that some symptoms of mental illness may have constructive uses.
