Abstract
This paper examines the major directions of literary psychology and their significance in contemporary literary studies. Literary psychology explores the relationship between literature and human consciousness by focusing on the psychological dimensions of authorship, creative activity, literary texts, and readers’ responses. The study aims to identify the principal areas of psychological literary analysis and to demonstrate their role in understanding literary works.
