Psychoanalysis Based on Video Game Characters. For Non-Psychoanalysts

One of the important components of any video game is its characters. Interaction with them immerses us in an unusual atmosphere. How can a set of animated pixels do this? In every fictional hero, one can sense a real person - with their emotions, worries, and expressions, and the very problems of video game heroes turn out to be not so fictional. This is what Denis Petrishin will talk about - a practicing psychologist, creator of the PsyCase channel, and author of materials for the YouTube channel TVG. This time his clients are characters from popular computer games. He analyzes the favorites of tens of thousands of players into unconscious pixels in the best traditions of Sigmund Freud, looking much deeper than we are used to. After reading this book, you will surely see in yourself and those around you things you never even thought about before. It will be useful for professional psychologists and anyone who wants to understand how to create memorable characters.
