Title
House and Psychology: Humanity Is Overrated - Paperback
by Ted Cascio (Editor), Leonard L. Martin (Editor)
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.
Back Jacket

Gregory House is a medical genius and a Sherlock Holmesian figure, but he's also a self-destructive, deeply troubled misanthrope. What is it about this angry, arrogant curmudgeon that is so appealing to us? House and Psychology offers a fascinating psychological profile of Gregory House and his team at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital. Is House a hero or an antihero? Does Wilson need House's emotional support? Are all of the relationships on this show doomed to fail? The answers to these questions allow us to appreciate our favorite characters more deeply but also serve as a crystal-clear window into our own behavior. Why do we deceive people? How do we define addiction? Can we help others without expecting anything in return? Combining psychological theory with the latest in psychological research, House and Psychology lets us understand what makes this show tick.
