An irresistible look within the mind and behind the hit TV drama,
House
While House is a smart medical drama and Gregory House faces countless
ethical quandaries as a doctor, what makes the show unique is that it's
much more deeply rooted in psychology than in medicine. At its core,
House is a show about the mind and human behavior. Gregory House is a
medical genius and a Sherlock Holmesian figure, but he's also a deeply
troubled misanthrope. What's going on inside the brain of this beloved,
arrogant, cane-waving curmudgeon that is so appealing? House and
Psychology tackles this question and explores the latest findings in
brain science research, defines addiction in its many forms, and
diagnoses dysfunctional relationships, all using test cases at
Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital.
- Offers a revealing psychological profile of Gregory House and his team
- Uses the latest psychological theory and research to answer questions
ranging from ""How does House handle addiction?"" to""Why does he act
like such a jerk?""
- Features contributions from a group of world-renowned psychological
experts who also happen to love House
Essential reading for every House fan, House and Psychology will
help you discover the extraordinary mental universe of your favorite
brilliant, bombastic, bile-belching doctor of medicine.
