"Mad Men" has captured the imaginations of millions of viewers, winning fifteen golden globes and four Emmys.

Lending her trained professional eye, she poses and expertly answers pressing questions such as: Why does Don constantly sabotage himself? Why is Betty such a cold mother and desperately unhappy housewife? (Hint: It's not just because her "people are Nordic.")Why does Pete prevail in adversity when Roger crumbles?Why is Peggy able to rise profesionally in the male jungle of Madison Avenue when Joan can't?Can these characters ever really change? With critical commentary that is both entertaining and insightful, "Mad Men on the Couch "will provide viewers with a unique persepctive on the show.
