Hitchcock's Psycho/A Psychoanalytic View

Abstract: A 10 page research paper that examines Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller Psycho. The writer discusses the film in reference to Freud's psychoanalytical model. The writer argues that Psycho is a superlative example of the filmmaker's art, in cinematography, music and all other essential details. However, there is also another element. The structure of this film demonstrates how Hitchcock expertly dramatizes and utilizes numerous elements from psychoanalysis, and, in so doing, taps into the subconscious of the spectator. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
