A Lecture on Narrative Psychology (Dramatica Story Theory) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Transcript of a suppressed and never-given lecture on Narrative Psychology by the co-cretaor of the Dramatica Theory of Story, Melanie Anne Phillips, in the late 1990s. The lecture was prepared for an organization of psychologist and psychiatrists at their request. But, when the head of the group demanded a preview, he became enraged by the radical concepts that he felt were so far from the accepted foundations of his field there were akin to blasphemy. Without ceremony, he cancelled the lecture and forbid his personnel to further pursue the concepts or continue contact with Ms. Phillips. Here, for the first time, the original text of this "lost" lecture is presented in its entirety.

Feminist.
It didn't explain very clearly about narrative psychology. I'm still left wondering what it is. But at the end i was disturbed that things turned into a bout of feminism and underhanded criticism over things pertaining to stories that were not preconceived beforehand
