Thoughts on King Lear and the Current Generation Gap: References

Assistant Chief of the Mount Zion Psychiatric Clinic and on the Faculty of the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute. He has written on the Berkeley Free Speech movement, and worked in the Haight-Ashbury Clinic. Beyond the psychoanalytic and social foci, his interest in Shakespeare connects to his having acted in and directed Macbeth. He admits to a daydream that he is in the audience of a performance of King Lear when there is a call for a doctor in the house. He would declare himself a physician, pronounce the actor playing Lear incapacitated, and take over the role.
