Psychology of the Sopranos: Love, Death, Desire, & Betrayal in America's Favorite Gangster Family - Hardcover
Mafia don Tony Soprano, his family, his ''associates,'' & his therapist, Dr. Jennifer Melfi, have captured the imagination (& the fanatical devotion) of more than 11 million viewers. Here, renowned psychiatrist & psychoanalyst Glen Gabbard takes a hard & humorous look at the psyches of America's favorite mob family -- & our own. Dr. Gabbard delves into the psychology of the characters, the show's depiction of therapy, & how ''The Sopranos'' dramatically showcases the psychological ambiguities & conflicts in our own lives. Indeed, part of the show's popularity, he argues, is the spotlight it throws in viewers' psychological issues -- from panic attacks & existential angst to friendship, loyalty & infidelity.
