This work, one of the first academic studies of The Sopranos to
include references to the highly regarded show's final episode,
provides a detailed account of lead character Tony Soprano's
psychological journey through all eight seasons of the popular HBO
show's successful run. Discussing the series through a window of
psychological interpretation and social analysis, the author
examines The Sopranos unique representation of modern family
dynamics, organized crime, contemporary American society, and
mental health.Early chapters focus on Tony's influential early life
experiences, as represented by several flashbacks and revealed
through his many therapy sessions. These chapters also reveal the
mental stress that affects Tony as a direct result of his
involvement with organized crime and his ever-fluctuating
relationships with his wife and children. Later chapters focus on
internal conflicts and behavioral symptoms commonly affecting the
populace of Tony's world, as well as on the critical role that
Tony's mental therapy sessions play in his ultimate psychological
journey. The book's final chapters explore the Soprano family as a
unified whole, including an evaluation of each character's
development throughout the series and an analysis of the roles of
symbolism, food, and storytelling in creating The Sopranos
universe.
