Abstract
Within the broader psychological biblical criticism this study intends to motivate why psychological approaches to the text of the Song of Songs make sense for a meaningful reception, which kinds of psychological approaches suit this analysis the most, and how they could be utilised for analysing and interpreting the characters that feature in this lyric love poetry, with a special focus on the unconscious way they perceive their bodies and those of others.
