The psychological in Vlado Žabot's prose comprises all the levels and structural elements of the work including its content and form. Žabot devotes most space to the central character; the literary figure in Žabot's work requires a detailed psychological analysis, which reveals a character who, in search of his own identity, encounters conscious, subconscious and unconscious elements while meandering through his own psyche. This can be seen in the presence of overt and covert content, elements of dream and fantasy andvarious psychological states. The works create a space for images, thoughts, associations, fantasies and memories that become externalised in the narrating subjects who are lost in the world of literary characters.
