FINALIST FOR THE ETHEL WILSON FICTION PRIZE
FINALIST FOR THE VICTORIA BUTLER e-book PRIZE

“C.P. Boyko's moment delivering is brilliantly daring. Playful and dire and scholarly without warning, Psychology may be the main audaciously unique number of Canadian fiction, ever. Mr. Mustard by myself is well worth the expense of admission.”—Bill Gaston, writer of Mount Appetite

“Very revealing.”—Hubert T. Ross, PhD, PsyD, DPsy

Psychologists are humans we recognize and resent. At top, they’re compassionate detectives of the human soul, healers and diagnosticians, assessing the interior machinations that constitution our lives and behaviour. At worst, even though, they’re boastful, hyper-educated, bombastic, yappy, socially deaf, thrice-divorced and twice-separated spouse-swapping cat-torturing perverts.

Plus, they’re all during this publication. And so are their patients.

C.P. Boyko’s Psychology and different Stories is replete with analysts, lawyers, criminals, Freudians, wardens, and self-help professionals. From Dr. Pringle’s treatment-resisting younger sufferer in “Reaction-Formation” to the philandering forensic psychiatrist of “The Blood-Brain Barrier,” Psychology is a droll dissection of archetypes—as good as a super examine of psychological disorder, psychological well-being, and the folk who try and inform them apart.
