Wonder Woman Psychology Travis Langley

For seventy five years, Wonder Woman has served as an inspiration to people everywhere. Wonder Woman Psychology: Lassoing the Truth examines this powerful superhero--who was created by famous psychologist William Moulton Marston--through twenty chapters, including some very special interviews and the previously unpublished memoir of Elizabeth Holloway Marston. This collection analyzes: ? Marston's important role in the history of forensic psychology. ? How Diana's relationship with her mother and Amazonian sisters shapes her to become a leader and the heroine called Wonder Woman. ? The ways differences in culture and gender can contribute to alienation but also to personal empowerment. ? What roles emotion, strengths, virtues, and culture shock play in heroic behavior. ? And what it truly means to be a wonder.
