Lisbeth Salander, the multi-faceted protagonist of Stieg Larssons Millennium Trilogy, is an enigmaan astoundingly intelligent, prickly bundle of contradictions. What makes her tick? What makes her special? Is she bound for an inevitably self-destructive end? Or can she rise from the ashes of her childhood trauma? The Psychology of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo investigates Lisbeth the same way Mikhail Blomkvist might, seeking answers from mental health clinicians and researchers to better understand Salander, her psychology, and her worldincluding the ways in which that world reflects, or doesnt reflect, our own.
