Synopsis

You are what you watch! What if classic TV could heal your inner child? No, really, we're serious. It's possible if you understand what your programming choices say about you! In this delightful send-up of self-help books, author Dr. Will Miller asks: Did you love Lassie, the cross-dressing canine hero who saved little Timmy from raging rivers and mine shafts? It could be a sign of co-dependency and an impulse for self-sacrifice. What does your devotion to Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie say about your marriage and your view of gender? Why do men love the Three Stooges? Why do women loathe them? Do you have an inner Moe, Larry or Curly? And do you know why you must kill your inner Gilligan? Is it really possible for the nation to be emotionally healed by viewing The Brady Bunch? The answers to these questions will surprise and thrill you. Dr. Will Miller, the founder of the revolutionary science of teletherapy, reveals all these truths and more in this groundbreaking book that explains Why We Watch! In a matter of moments, you'll be watching your way to wellness! Really.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"I believe the American television rerun is the path to personal peace." -- Dr. Will Miller
What did ten years of watching Scooby Doo do to your psyche? Are you psychologically sick if you liked Cindy better than Marcia on The Brady Bunch? What does Frasier tell you about your own dysfunctional family patterns?
Dr. Will Miller explains it all in this hilarious self-help guide to our teleconscious. Studies show that Miller's exciting new technique called Teletherapy can help you balance your inner Moe, Larry, and Curly, relax your inner Incredible Hulk; and explore other complex issues such as:
Denial -- Shindig or Rush Limbaugh: two decisive strategies!
Parenting -- today's Dennis the Menace, tommorow's Eddie Haskell, next year's America's Most Wanted!
The Oedipal Complex -- The Rifleman: Lucas McCain as Freudian nightmare!
The New Masculinity -- why is Ralph Kramden crying for help and displaying Intermittent Explosive Disorder?
Plus: in-depth analyses of your favorite TV shows reveal the hidden psychological themes that make us want to watch shows like: MTV's Beavis and Butt-head, I Love Lucy, The A-Team, The Andy Griffith Show, Star Trek, Father Knows Best, The Twilight Zone, Flipper, and more!
