Zusammenfassung:It is interesting to note that uneducated Korean shamans (mudang) were applying the same principle as Freudian psychoanalysis long before its advent. This paper discusses similarities and differences between the techniques used by Freudian psychoanalysts andmudang, through comparing case studies of Freud’s female patient and a mudang’s female client. Mudangs’ techniques differ from those of psychoanalysts who cure through one-to-one talking sessions in that their healing is carried out through impromptu public drama skilfully instigated by them, in which the repressed feelings are revealed and clarified. Being spontaneous and highly entertaining, their method can produce a dramatic success.
