साहित्य और मनोविज्ञान  by mafatlal patel

 In this book mafatlal patel had analysed on Freud, kafka , Edgar alan poe and  Carl hung. in this book patel remarks on the mental illness of writer and reader.
- Mafatlal patel compares child's mind , Criminal's mind ,and writer's mind.  He says when child playing with something , he plays fully. He plays like there is nothing around him, Him , as well writer sit for writing he fully concentration on his work.
-when writer wrote something he presents all the side of situation. positive and nagative too. when protagonist traped by someone , how that trap is created and he save himself. how he findout the way , it is all mind power of writer.
- patel give other Remark that When our desires , our wish we can't fulfill because of face fear of society we satisfy our wish by Reading writing or watching. And so, writer gain great pleasure by writing and Reader also get interest in reading That work.
- Freud research was on human mind. and so he wrote that writer like Shakespear , who are very famous were very famous were suffering from mental illness. Because of their illness they can write great tragedy or drama etc..
- Patel  mentions here Edgar Alan poe. we all are also familiar with poe. His short stories all are written on the mental disorder people. who suffers from mental illness and does some crime.

mafatlal patel giving two remarks here that
why writer very firstly release truth that all the characters of story are imigibative.
1) Because when writer wrote character he give his totality but may be he can not give that character morality.
2)And reader is so weak so he unable to understand that this character are not suffering in reality. They are just described or are doing acting.

- patel tell the story in referance of impact of literature and sex on society. there is one Eunan story. that in old days there were no different gender. but angry god make them diffrent.
and so Swinburn give his view that why there is attraction between different Gender.  
D. H. Lawrence says that Sex and beuty are similar. who hates the sex will be also  hater of  the beauty.  and because of suppression of beauty and sex there is so many rape cases and crimes are done.
this all things are represented by patel.

In this way patel make me force to think that we all are very interested in Reading and most of public are influenced to writing and all are suffering from disease.    
in short this book is very interesting for the people who love to study human mind and human psychology.
