Song parody

In 2022, I studied the process of song parody as a creative writing approach for therapeutic purposes in the context of my Gestalt psychotherapy. I subsequently wrote a paper which was published in the British Gestalt Journal in 2023, highlighting the creative importance and significance of working with culture, making the case that culture, as a creative and artistic process, is a sine qua non in the therapeutic process and encounter. I argue that the artistic creation of self is above all cultural.

Read my research paper The Cure: working with separation and loss.

These recordings below were done for therapeutic and academic purposes, and are not intended for profit. The first song is ‘Pictures of You’ by The Cure. My song parody is entitled ‘Pictures of You, Mother’. The second song is ‘One Hundred Years’ by The Cure. My song parody is called ‘One Hundred Years of Korean Women’. I do not own the copyright of the original songs or lyrics.
