How does an immortal deal with death? What can an ancient Time Lord
teach us about real human nature? Why does the Doctor say he and
Freud “got on very well”? How do the Daleks and Cybermen
reflect concerns about losing our humanity? And what new challenges
loom ahead when the Doctor regenerates as a woman? Hailed as the
“most successful sci-fi series ever made” (Guinness World
Records), Doctor Who has been a cult-classic for more than half a
century. And though time may not be the boss—Rule 408—as times
change, so too do social norms and psychological challenges, which
have paved the way for a new kind of Doctor who can appeal to the
modern viewer. Revised and updated for our changing times, the
second edition of Doctor Who Psychology: Times
Change explores the alien in us all. Travis Langley’s
fascinating in-depth collection delves into the psychology behind
the time-traveling Doctor in his many iterations—as men and
women—as well as his companions and his foes. With a foreword by
Third Doctor Companion Katy Manning, an introduction to the second
edition, and new interviews with actors who have played Doctors new
and old, Doctor Who Psychology: Times Change travels
through the how and why of Who. Contributors to the second edition
include: Jenna Busch * Erin Currie * Jim Davies * Kristin Erickson
* Wind Goodfriend * Daniel Hand * David Kyle Johnson * Billy San
Juan * Deirdre Kelly * Alan Kistler * Travis Langley * Katy Manning
* Justine Mastin * Matt Munson * Miranda Pollock * Stephen Prescott
* Sarita Robinson * Aaron Sagers * Daniel Saunders * Janina Scarlet
