%X This article considers selected landmarks in the history of psychiatry and their impact on Hamlet productions, including Burton¡¯s Anatomy of Melancholia, Emil Kraepelin¡¯s manic-depression, Freud¡¯s oedipal complex and R.D. Laing¡¯s ¡®divided self¡¯. Additionally, this article considers the way Shakespeare¡¯s Hamlet has influenced the course of psychiatry. The linkages between psychiatry and Hamlet have existed since the 17th century, and perhaps Shakespeare¡¯s Hamlet should have a place on every psychiatrist¡¯s shelf
