<![CDATA[Inner conflict is one of the psychological elements that plays an essential role in shaping character development in literary works. Leila S. Chudori’s novel Namaku Alam portrays the psychological dynamics of the protagonist through traumatic experiences, family relationships, and social pressures. This study aims to describe the forms of inner conflict, the factors causing the conflict, and the psychological condition of the main character, Alam. The research employed a literary psychology approach based on Albertine Minderop’s theory using a descriptive qualitative method. The data source was the novel Namaku Alam by Leila S. Chudori, while the research data consisted of textual quotations reflecting inner conflict, causal factors, and the character’s psychological condition. Data were collected through library research, intensive reading, and note-taking techniques, and analyzed using an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Alam experiences various forms of inner conflict, including guilt, anger, anxiety, sadness, emotional distress, and self-acceptance. These conflicts are influenced by interconnected factors, namely family, social environment, identity, and traumatic experiences. Alam’s psychological condition develops from prolonged emotional distress toward gradual self-reconciliation, characterized by increasing emotional tranquility and self-acceptance. This study demonstrates that the literary psychology approach effectively reveals the psychological dynamics of literary characters and contributes to the development of contemporary Indonesian literary studies.]]>
