Psychologists turn their attention to The Simpsons,
one of America's most popular and beloved shows, in these
essays that explore the functions and dysfunctions of the
show's characters. Designed to appeal to both fans of the
show and students of psychology, this unique blend of
science and pop culture consists of essays by professional
psychologists drawn from schools and clinical practices
across the country. Each essay is designed to be accessible,
thoughtful, and entertaining, while providing the reader
with insights into both The Simpsons and the latest
in psychological thought. Every major area of psychology is
covered--from clinical psychology and cognition to abnormal
and evolutionary psychology--while fresh views on eclectic
show topics such as gambling addiction, pavlovian
conditioning, family therapy, and lobotomies are explored.
