Abstract

The authors have wanted to study the structure and the characteristics peculiar to the perverse speech, on beauty, enjoyment, claiming to be a knowledge on the other one. We have tried to mark the crucial elements of this speech in the portrait of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) and in Othello (Shakespeare) in which the perverse's activity of staging is particularly explicit and contributes to substitute a reality for another one.

Don Pasquale, Fidelio, and psychiatry.

Donizetti's Don Pasquale and Beethoven's Fidelio are discussed in order to illustrate how two very different operas can illustrate the human quest for authenticity. Through their music and dramatic presentation they are able to convey experiential insights into profound philosophic and psychologic truths. Along with other experiential communications, such as myths, folklore, poetry, humor, and art, they can be especially helpful--not only but also--in psychotherapy, in providing access to potentials that ordinarily are sealed off, in enhancing the awareness of inauthentic attitudes, in facilitating the acceptance of seemingly paradoxical aspects of human existence, and in providing a deeper sense for life's meaningfulness. Music is invaluable in opening our soul to the story's thoughts, feelings, and commitments.
