Abstract
Using material from the analysis of a male patient, the author examines the meanings of the decapitated body of a woman in various religious and cultural beliefs and myths, including those represented by the image of the Hindu goddess Lajja Gauri, and the relevance of these to male denial of creativity in women. Material demonstrating the relationship between feelings of loneliness and the urge to create is also presented.
