[edit] incorrect use of terms
I don't think "psychological realism" and "psychological novel" are in any way synonymous. My understanding is that psychological realism is the technique used in fiction where the reader is able to suspend disbelief and go along with the fiction. Fairy tales are not psychologically realistic, because we don't believe animals can talk; an example of in novel form is Cabell's Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice. Almost all novels in a bookstore today are psychologically realistic fiction; few of them are psychological novels.--74.95.125.166 04:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
