Why do so many people feel more like themselves in costume than out of it?

In More Than a Story: Cosplay, Identity, and Mental Health, licensed counselor and cosplayer Matthew E. Morgan introduces the Cosplay Integration Model, a five-stage framework (Story, Belonging, Permission, Embodiment, and Integration) for how stepping into a character with intention can help people recover from life’s fractures, find their people, and try on parts of themselves they were never allowed to show.

Drawing on clinical practice, research, a survey of more than 200 cosplayers, and real stories from the community, it’s written for cosplayers, the people who love them, and the therapists who work with them.

Copies can be signed by the author. Add a name in the personalization box for a personalized inscription.

Details: 6 x 9 paperback, 382 pages. Printed in the USA and signed by hand. Ships by USPS Media Mail.
