Abstract

Objective: With reference to relevant literature and brief analysis of televised content, this article discusses the potential value of RuPaul’s Drag Race (RPDR) in psycho-education about mentalization. Conclusions: RPDR can be viewed as an example of the ‘entertainment-education’ genre containing instructive displays of mentalization in action and an opportunity to increase public awareness of concepts that support emotional resilience. The psycho-educative potential of RPDR merits further evaluation.
