abstract="The study of the legend of Tristan and Iseult in terms of the multiple fantasies it might express adds to our understanding of the psychology of love. In a previous paper (1975), I delineated, via allusion to the Tristan legend, the romantic-erotic conditions sometimes involved in creativity. In this one, I have approached the question of love from the other direction and have tried to delineate the creative-adaptive conditions required for integrating the experiences of loving and being in love. The &quot;High tale of love and death,&quot; the Liebestod fantasy realized, is still with us, but the happier ending may be a realistic, viable alternative.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
