TY - JOUR A1 - Shainess, N. T1 - Hamlet - the coup that failed T2 - Journal of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis, New York Vol. 3 (No. 4, 1975), pp. 383-403. N2 - Presents a psychoanalytic reinterpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet which focuses on Hamlet's personality rather than viewing the play as representing the classic ödipal struggle. The events of the play are evaluated in terms of the concepts of such theorists as K. Horney, E. FROMM, H. S. Sullivan, and others. Hamlet is seen as an alienated, destructive man with a psychopathic personality, bent upon obtaining revenge for his lost throne.
