Abstract

The characteristics of the vampire legend are compared to those associated with childhood abuse in terms of the role of the abuser and the abused and of the interchange between them. Principles of analytical psychology are used as a template through which the drama of vampire/abuser and victims can be understood, with the vampire representing the negative aspect of the healer archetype.
