What Is The Story Mind?

The Story Mind is a model of human psychology that grew out of the development of the Dramatica Theory of Story, which describes the psychologies of characters. In fact, every story has a mind of its own. Its structure represents the story's psychology, its storytelling determines the story's personality.

In stories, characters portray our conflicting motivations, theme describes our value stndards, plot relates our problem solving techniques, and genre documents our moods.

By examining story structure from a psychological point of view, we can learn how to resolve our own problems and to find balance and equity between our reason and our passion.
