Character portrayal in Anthony Trollope's Barset novels: a psychoanalytic appraisal.

Anthony Trollope's novels enjoyed great popularity in his own day, and the past several decades have seen a considerable revival of interest in them. His most popular series, the six Barset novels, exemplify his love of life, his psychological sensitivity, and his profound sense of the meaning and value of the smallest nuances of human behavior and interaction. In his comprehension of the psychological vicissitudes of ordinary daily life he has been compared to Chaucer. This paper studies a portrait of a severely depressed character in Trollope's own favorite work, The Last Chronicle of Barset.

What is "psychotherapy"?

There are two "psychotherapies." The first, very close to psychoanalysis, may be defined as that mental treatment whose central focus is the analysis of the patient's experience of the relationship with the therapist in the here and now, and whose goal is insight. This is psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The second is nonpsychoanalytic psychotherapy, which bypasses the patient's experience of the relationship with the therapist, and by so doing may be defined as that mental treatment based on suggestion, with the goal of subjective improvement or symptom relief. Each therapy has its appropriate role in human experience. The basis of nonanalytic therapy, suggestion, is antithetical to both the means (analysis) and ends (insight) of analytic therapy.
