The Psychology of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Description

Lisbeth Salander, heroine of Stieg Larsson s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels, is one of the most compelling, complex characters of our time. Is she an avenging angel? A dangerous outlaw? What makes Salander tick, and why is our response to her ”and to Larsson s Millennium trilogy ”so strong? In The Psychology of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 19 psychologists and psychiatrists attempt to do what even expert investigator Mikael Blomkvist could not: understand Lisbeth Salander. ¢ What does Lisbeth s infamous dragon tattoo really say about her? ¢ Why is Lisbeth so drawn to Mikael, and what would they both need to do to make a relationship work? ¢ How do we explain men like Martin Vanger, Nils Bjurman, and Alexander Zalachenko? Is Lisbeth just as sexist and as psychopathic as they are? ¢ What is it about Lisbeth that allows her to survive, even thrive, under extraordinary conditions? ¢ How is Lisbeth like a Goth-punk Rorschach test? And what do we learn about ourselves from what we see in her? (Description from external book data)
