Dr. Ruth Westheimer, America’s favorite sex therapist, analyzes the irrational, cruel and often deadly world of classic myths—from Narcissus to Helen of Troy to Venus and Adonis. Dr. Ruth and co-author Jerome E. Singerman examine the underlying psychology of ancient myths, and trace how they have endured in literature and art throughout the centuries, influencing how we think about love even today.
This annual lecture is made possible by a generous endowment from Tamara and Harry Handelsman in honor of the memory of Tamara Handelsman’s brother, Gerald L. Bernstein.
