Monsters of the Upside Down, beware!
Travis Langley (author of the acclaimed Batman and Psychology) returns
with a group of expert contributors to explore these and other questions
to shine a light on true human nature through the Netflix series and
cultural phenomenon, Stranger Things.
When do feelings of grief, guilt, depression, fear, and isolation tear
us down, and how do we transform them into hope, inspiration,
forgiveness, acceptance, and motivation to do what's right? Growing up
is hard enough without metaphors for the dangers that lurk in life's
shadows springing to life in the form of monsters, villains,
conspiracies, and enemy soldiers.
- How do we navigate friendships to unite against bullying and its
many forms?
- What happens to missing persons' families or those once lost upon
their return?
- Can games and fantasy help us connect with others and make sense of
real life?
Stranger Things Psychology: Life Upside Down descends into the dark
side of adolescence to find the light on the other side of the ultimate
coming-of-age story.
