Psychogothic in the psychology context refers to a subgenre or thematic approach within psychological literature, film, and art that explores the darker, often unsettling aspects of the human psyche, drawing heavily on themes and aesthetics traditionally associated with Gothic fiction. It delves into psychological states of fear, paranoia, madness, obsession, and the uncanny, often using elements of suspense, mystery, and atmosphere to evoke a sense of dread or unease.
