Funded Activity Summary
Psychotherapy in dealing with grief in Antiquity - strategies for contemporary society. Death and aging pose a major cultural as well as economic problem for contemporary society. They are problematic in how we deal with them and a financial strain on society. By viewing grief as a universal human issue this project explores what contribution the ancient tradition can make to modern strategies. Ancient philosophical writings offer well-considered reflections on how to work through grief, while many literary expressions provide a further opportunity for empathy and recognition. Thus the project will investigate whether the classical arguments and various experience-based accounts offer both a rational and empathic source of consolation.Funded Activity Details
