For fans of Margaret Atwood's dystopian classic 'The Handmaid's Tale', this book offers a fascinating guide to its psychological underpinnings. In 'The Handmaid's Tale Psychology', a diverse array of scholars and experts explore the novel's use of power, control, trauma, and resistance through the lens of psychology. From the authoritarian regime's manipulation of language and identity to the handmaids' strategies for survival and rebellion, each chapter sheds new light on the complex human behaviours and societal forces at play. A great read for anyone interested in exploring the ideas of The Handmaid's Tale in more detail.

Definitely interesting book. Lots of very different perspectives that analyze The Handmaid's Tale from a psychological perspective. Some really fascinating insights.

A major shocker is that not one chapter in the book discusses the similarities between The Handmaid's Tale and what went on with totalitarian Covid-19 policies. Also, very little was covered about the similarities between Handmaid's Tale and current social media censorship/ the trend of "cancelling people" and calling information one disagrees with "disinformation" or "misinformation." Examining that would have been welcome.

I mainly wanted to read this book because I'm a huge fan of The Handmaid's Tale. And knowing that there were two authors who'd decided to write a psychological book about it, tickled my fancy.

This book goes deep down into the story. Really picking apart every aspect of it. And I have to say, this was the most educative book I've read this year.

Highly recommend this book to those who have either read the books, watched the 1990 movie adaptation or the TV series on Hulu, but want to get into the brain twisting parts. Because, let's face it, this stuff is actually happening today.

I really enjoyed this deep dive into the Handmaid's Tale, where the authors explore the psychology behind the book and the television show. This book details the cautionary tale written by Margaret Atwood, featuring analysis from therapists and psychologists. I think this is a timely book because not only is the book and the television show very popular right now, but the discourse surrounding this book is so relevant to our lives right now. If we are not careful and not heeding the warning within this fictional book, we may fall victim to the same fate.
