Decision Problems and Anxiety: A Psychoanalytical Analysis of Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper

    Issues with decision-making that are mental, emotional, or spiritual may be covered in this article. People can suffer from psychological problems. I believed it could be intriguing to examine the minds of Anna and Sara from Jodi Picoult's novel My Sister's Keeper. The purpose of this psychoanalytic analysis is to look into Anna and Sara Fitzgerald's interpretation and insight of My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Sara Fitzgerald and Ann assist her with her mental issues from a Freudian perspective in Jodi Picoult's novel My Sister's Keeper. The author draws on literary and psychological analyses. Literature is analyzed and evaluated through literary criticism. The book is psychological because it centres on Anna and Sara's mental illness. To analyze the novel, psychoanalysis is applied. After reading about the problem, the author decided on a psychological strategy.
