Illuminating Childhood

Portraits in Fiction, Film, & Drama

Beschreibung

While literature and the arts are rarely considered primary sources for knowledge about human motivation and behaviour, people read novels, attend movies, watch television, and go to the theatre not solely to be entertained but also to learn about one another and about themselves. This title formalises this quest for psychological knowledge in the domain of the arts.
