Topic: Freud Knows Romance
Speaker:
Sandy James: Sandy is an award-winning author writing in multiple
genres, including contemporary romance for Grand Central Forever. She
also teaches psychology, and has presented her fun, fascinating
workshops on psychology and characterization at National RWA
conferences.
Description: This workshop empowers participants
with some basic psychological principles that will give them tools to
use in their characterizations. The workshop includes theories on
motivation, explanations of emotion, and discussions of personality
formation. Sigmund Freud’s defense mechanisms are a “must know” for
writers. Without a grasp of concepts such as rationalization,
sublimation, and projection, authors miss some fantastic opportunities
to make their heroes and heroines consistent and endearing.
