Finally, a book analysing the psychologically complex characters of "Dexter", the hit US show. Dexter Morgan: Police forensic analyst. Family man. Serial killer. And the star of "Dexter". Aimed at "Dexter" devotees and armchair psychologists, "The Psychology of Dexter" takes on the psychological complexities of the popular series with an eye towards insight and accessibility. It analyses not just the title character, but his family, co-workers, and even his viewers. What makes Dexter tick? And what makes a show about a serial killer so appealing to those of us at home? From the implications of faking normalcy (could it be behind Dexter's still-in-progress emotional growth?) to where the show weights in on the psychological debate between nature and nurture, "The Psychology of Dexter" gives fans a peek inside Dexter's - and Dexter's - psyche.
