The Psychology of Vampires

Why are we so obsessed with vampires?In this episode, I'm joined by psychologist and author David Cohen. We chat about his book The Psychology of Vampires (Routledge, 2019) and David unpacks what vampires really represent in the human mind—from repressed desires and forbidden sexuality to our deepest fears about death, power, and emotional dependency.We delve into how Freud, Jung, and modern psychological theories help explain the vampire’s grip on our imagination—and why this mythical figure has evolved from a terrifying predator to a tortured, seductive anti-hero in today’s pop culture.You can order a copy of the Psychology of Vampires directly from RoutledgeFind out more about David's books and films hereAnd you can contact David on [email protected] us a textYou can watch the video of this episode on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@EverythingsPsychology
