Book ID/图书代码： 02740015B82435
English Summary/英文概要： Mad Men has captured the imaginations of millions of viewers, winning fifteen golden globes and four Emmys. Perhaps more than the gorgeously stylized visuals and impeccably re-created history, it’s the show’s richly drawn characters stumbling through their personal and professional lives that get under our skin and keep us invested.
In Mad Men on the Couch, Dr. Stephanie Newman analyzes the show’s primary characters through the lens of modern psychology. Lending her trained professional eye, she poses and expertly answers pressing questions such as:
Why does Don constantly sabotage himself?
Why is Betty such a cold mother and desperately unhappy
housewife? (Hint: It’s not just because her "people are Nordic.")
Why does Pete prevail in adversity when Roger crumbles?
Why is Peggy able to rise profesionally in the male jungle of Madison Avenue when Joan can’t?
Can these characters ever really change?
With critical commentary that is both entertaining and insightful, Mad Men on the Couch will provide viewers with a unique persepctive on the show.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《广告狂人》引发了众多观众的想象力，获得了15个金球奖和4个艾美奖。电视剧中极富魅力的人物通过他们的个人及职业生活淋漓尽致地展现在观众面前。
在本书中，Stephanie Newman博士从现代心理学的角度对电视剧中的主要人物进行了深入的分析。她通过专业的眼光为以下问题提出了专业的见解：
为什么Don总是不断地自我摧毁？
为什么Betty作为母亲如此冷酷，又是一个极其不快乐的家庭主妇？
为什么Peggy能在男人主导的职场不断上升而Joan不行？
这些人物能够改变吗？
书中对这些任务的评论洞见深刻又有趣，为观众提供了一个全新的视角。（LYR）

Newman博士选择这部迷人的获奖电视剧，娴熟地对其中所蕴含的心理及社会信息进行了深入的分析。
Fans of the show will absolutely want to read these spot-on diagnoses of the major characters, but even casual or non-viewers of the show will greatly enjoy the ways in which Dr. Stephanie Newman has illuminated the trends and values of our current culture by looking at the way life once was a few decades ago. In sum, a smart, thoughtful and most of all, fun book.
"Dr. Newman takes this fascinating, compelling and award-winning TV show and skillfully analyzes both the psychological and broadly social messages implicit in it."
This fascinating book presents us with a double gift. Not only does it offer a sophisticated and entertaining analysis of the characters in Mad Men, it also provides invaluable insights into the variety of personality types that we encounter off screen in our daily lives. A treasure for Mad Men fans and a delight to read, this book also serves as a splendid introduction to modern psychoanalysis.
