Power and control in the television worlds of Joss Whedon

"This study explores the myriad natural and supernatural methods Whedon's characters use to achieve power and control over unsuspecting friends and foes, including witchcraft and other paranormal means, love, aggression, and scientific devices such as psychosurgery and psychopharmacology. A catalog of characters and a complete list of episodes completes this valuable addition to the growing body of "Whedonverse.""--Provided by publisher.
