review 1: The Psychology of Dexter is a series of essays written by mental health types who look at some of the mental health aspects of the show. I enjoyed several of them but lost interest in the book after about 75%-- it just seemed to get repetitive.I'll be doing a blog series on this book. I'll post the links here after they go live.My favorite essays were:Rethinking Dexter by Lisa Firestone, PhD.Naughty by Nature by Joshua L. GowinThe Psychology of Dexter's Kills by Marisa Mauro, PsyD.Deception by Bella Depaulo, PhD.
review 2: This is a collection of essays written at the end of the fourth season and there are spoilers if you haven't seen the entire season. Some of the essays looked exclusively at Dexter and some included other characters such as Rita and Deb. Whil... moree there was much agreement, almost repetition in some essays, I found the differing interpretations of Dexter's own psychology, particularly his evolution, the most thought provoking. At least one examined the psychology of the viewer and this made me look closer at why I enjoy the show so much. As in any group of essays by various authors, I found some more interesting than others but overall I'd recommend it to fans of the show. less
