Publikacja dotyczy problemów powstałych na styku literatury i psychologii, w szczególności terapeutycznej funkcji tekstów, zarówno w odniesieniu do ich autorów, jaki i do czytelników. Autorzy poszczególnych artykułów poddają analizie różnorodne teksty kultury powstałe w dziewiętnastym i w dwudziestym wieku, pokazując, że nie tylko psychologia dostarcza narzędzi do odczytania (niekiedy na nowo) tekstów literackich, ale i literatura pomaga w zrozumieniu problemów z dziedziny psychologii.
