Title:
Why Kids Need Superheroes
Short Description:
We will use superheroes like Batman to examine topics in clinical and developmental psychology, examining pathologies that can affect students and families.
Long Description:
This discussion will examine the psychology of superhero stories and how these modern mythologies can help children (and adults) with cognitive and emotional development. The lecture will explore the developmental technologies of story and play and together we will discover the positive lessons that can be learned from the challenges these fictional characters overcome.
