Bibliotherapy with Bijal Shah

Dostoyevsky and Bibliotherapy: Could One Say Dostoyevsky Understood Human Beings Better Than Freud?

11 May 2025

Description

In today's episode, I explore the psychological depth of Dostoyevsky’s literature through the lens of bibliotherapy. Could the Russian novelist understand the human psyche more intimately than Freud himself? We examine key characters, existential themes, and the healing potential of Dostoyevsky’s work, comparing literary insight with psychoanalytic theory. From Raskolnikov’s guilt to Ivan Karamazov’s spiritual crisis, this episode uncovers how fiction can mirror the unconscious—and why Dostoyevsky still resonates as a therapeutic force today.Email us at [email protected] Don't forget to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts and get new episodes as they are released.
