BOOK REVIEW
Psychoanalyst Dr. Jane
Goldberg (The Dark Side of Love: The Positive Role of Negative
Feelings) and author Lochlainn Seabrook (Britannia Rules:
Goddess-Worship in Ancient Anglo-Celtic Society) have joined
forces to create an altogether intriguing non-fiction work
entitled Princess Diana: Modern-Day Moon-Goddess - A
Psychoanalytical and Mythological Look at Diana Spencer's Life,
Marriage, and Death. Goldberg, a
Louisiana native and now a practicing New York therapist, sees
Diana's growth - from self-deprecating ingénue, to royal mother,
to powerful and independent woman - as an inevitable process in
the Princess' climb toward self-actualization, one cut short by
numerous tragic missteps. Seabrook, a scholarly writer,
seventh-generation Kentuckian, and a cousin of Diana, views her
life and death as fated, made more understandable by comparing her
with her ancient namesake, the Old European Moon-Goddess Diana,
with whom the Princess shared many uncanny similarities.
Combining psychoanalytic and mythological
perspectives, the authors weave a provocative interpretation of
Lady Spencer's life, one that includes an examination of her
marriage to Prince Charles, their breakup, her short bout with
freedom, and her eerie death in a damp Parisian tunnel named
"Bridge of the Moon-Goddess" - all cast in the light of ancient
myths surrounding the Pagan lunar deity Diana.
As Diana's psycho-mythic drama unfolds, we are
treated to a veritable introduction to both depth psychology and
comparative mythology, languages that Goldberg and Seabrook use to
ably describe the Princess of Wales' rise to fame and fortune and
her fall into tragedy and darkness.
Foreword by noted psychoanalyst Dr. Phyllis
Meadow. A respectful book in the mold of Sigmund Freud and Robert
Graves, it includes a large bibliography, detailed index, and
quotes by Princess Diana. Highly recommended for anyone interested
in Lady Di, psychology, or mythology.
