This is a hybrid genre which comprises aspects of the psychological but focuses on realistic events and emotions. This type of drama centers on the psyche and mental struggle of the character, also their inner conflict; this genre is mainly used as an approach, merging with other larger genres that stress mental struggles over the physical. The 'psychological' aspect of the genre can be taken more literally as a way to accentuate a character/protagonist on the edge of sanity. There is always conflict present in this way, inner conflict of the protagonist and also with other characters. This emphasizes the protagonist's inner turmoil and external impact of their state. This conflict is usually presented using 'expressionistic aesthetics' such as a distorted reality, dream sequences and non-linear narratives. It is usually the case that the cause for the protagonists disorder is rooted from a traumatic event from their past. Therefore the psychological genre will always portray the mental and the physical state. It is interesting to see how producers balance this duality within the characters.
The dramatic genre is one i will interweave by focusing on the emotional impact of the issue on characters in the narrative, the wife and the daughter, and also on the audience who will be able to empathize with the characters and the situation.
