The psychological genre is one that has boundless freedom in exploring it's themes, since the topic of human psyche, our behaviour and mind's patterns are something far too personal and individual.

The works that are part of this genre are conceived to kindle their reader's contemplation - about themselves, of the world presented in the story, as well as our own, and how shockingly similar or different they appear to be.

As well as that, this genre is usually focused on exploring two general types of personalities - ones that are seeking their true self, their place in this world and the significance and worth of their existence. The other usual psychological profile is one that is already established, presenting us an image that starts to crumble bit by bit, their core values degrade and all they're left with is a husk of their former selves, devoid of emotion, empathy or will to exist.

Besides the psychological portraits, the reader can find a lot of abstract concepts and subtle symbolism, which enhances the experience. Often times the art can be radical, provocative and avant-garde, or nuanced and subdued, but in all of these works, it does strives to accomplish one thing - to provoke us to think outside the box, to present us worlds or people that are inherently broken, but which has their importance and meaning, and are not afraid to challenge their currently established worldviews.
