Psychologist and script consultant William Indick shows dozens of screenplays as examples of how their authors use the theories of great psychologists in their work, and at the same time gives exercises to work out the material.
Psychologist, script consultant and highly sophisticated viewer, William Indick dissects dozens of American films (from Gone with the Wind to Spider-Man) and shows how, with varying degrees of virtuosity or mediocrity, screenwriters sew elements of theories into their texts , Jung, Adler, May. Indic accurately determines which of the characters or episodes sins with falsity, is unfinished or contradicts logic. The book is structured like a textbook: at the end of each chapter there are exercises for would-be screenwriters and summary tables to model the kind of conflict the reader is interested in.
