Fiction sometimes is wiser than reality in that it shows the most salient points of some stylized idea.

The TV writers have done a terrific job of tying together so many concepts, and the editors of this book, as well as those who contributed the essays, are to be applauded for laying everything out in such a clear and informative fashion. If you are willing to make the commitment, Supernatural Psychology will give you a fuller appreciation for the Winchesters and the depth of their struggles, and for the program in general. If you're reading this, you most likely fall into the former category. The two most likely audiences for this book are hardcore fans of the TV show who want a fuller look at the range of issues the Winchesters have been dealing with for over a decade, and students taking a "Psych 101" course. Each essay is primarily an explanation of a fundamental psychological concept with some relevant examples from Supernatural included to illustrate the point.
Supernatural Psychology at its core is an entertaining textbook. Zubernis, Supernatural Psychology includes discussions of family, dealing with trauma, defense mechanisms, gender roles, communication, mental health, leadership, perception, death, addictions, and more. This anthology is a collection of 21 essays examining the many psychological aspects of the program. That's part of what makes the TV show Supernatural so entertaining, and it's also the focus of a new book: Supernatural Psychology: Roads Less Traveled.
We can all agree there is a lot of psychological baggage to unpack in this story. However, mom is now stuck in an alternate universe with Lucifer because they fell through a portal that was opened by Lucifer's son (who has a human mother who died during childbirth.) Oh, and Mom Winchester was resurrected by God's sister as a thank you for helping her mend fences with her brother. They've battled Lucifer, teamed up with God and a fallen angel, prevented the apocalypse, and killed so many demons that they are probably two of the biggest mass murderers in American history. The brothers then assumed a life of demon/monster hunting (the family tradition), where they have been repeatedly tortured and killed, and they have spent time in Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. The Winchester boys hunted and finally killed the demon who killed their parents. Dad was eventually killed by the same demon that took their mom. This forced Dean to become a parent, as well as a sibling, to his younger brother. Their father became obsessed with finding and killing said demon, and as a result, he largely neglected/abandoned his sons throughout their childhood. Their mom was killed by a demon when Sam was an infant and Dean was four years old.
Consider the story of Sam and Dean Winchester.
