Psychoanalytic Understanding and Myths, Folktales, and Narrative
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the fact that modern psychoanalysis
is a multifaceted discipline that depends on classic Freudian
explanations as well as more contemporary empirical practices.
Social scientists, researchers into human psychology, writers,
and even “pop psychologists” have demonstrated an affinity for
the mythological and heroic aspects of the human psyche.
Individuals have been able to gain a better understanding of and
appreciation for their own capabilities through their association
with a particular culture, classic mythology, or spiritualism. As
it is used and referenced in the practice of psychoanalysis,
cultural myth and narrative serve to offer greater insights into
collective human thinking. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

StinkyCheese and the Gingerbread Man
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Almost all of us love stories. There is even an old legend that the reason God created humans so that there would be someone to tell him the stories. Generally they are adapted or sanitized depending on the age in which they are told, and sometimes by the storyteller himself. And sometimes the story teller may just wonder what would happened if you just changed a certain part. Such is the case of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka (1992) and Lane Smith (illustrator). In this discussion we will look both at the "stinky cheese man" and his predecessor through the work of Maria Tatar, in the 1998 version of The Classic Fairy Tales. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
