Reviews and Endorsements
Pitillas and Martínez-Biurrun’s expert two-hander represents a milestone in trauma approaches to horror film. The Psychodynamics of Trauma and Modern Horror Cinema carefully interweaves narrative analysis with relevant insights from clinical psychology to make a compelling case for the genre’s ability to mediate traumatic events and capture the complexities of psychic wounds. Already very popular in its home country, the book is poised to reach an even wider audience thanks to this new revised edition in English.
