The Henry James's short story The turn of the screw was object of full criticism activity. Along nearly a century, two major interpretative groups become an obligatory reference. One of the groups, composed of reports, papers and books, inserts Jame's short story in the fantastic narrative line; the second interpretative group is caracterized by psychological emphasis, suggesting that The turn of the screw isn't a ghost story, but a study in ficction of psychical suffer. In that line of discussions, the author looks to introduce a third way of interpretation well-grounded by some technical elements of William James's works, brother of Henry.
