Reviews and Endorsements
‘With great intelligence and timely sensitivity, The Inner World of Doctor Who frames this celebrated TV show in fascinating ways. Analysing the Doctor as a kind of “thinker-therapist”, and focusing on his relationships with companions, monsters, and the TARDIS, Iain MacRury and Michael Rustin convincingly explore deeper structures of meaning and feeling. Wedding perceptive readings to object relations theory, The Inner World of Doctor Who shows just how Doctor Who‘s emotional worlds of love, loss, and family are “bigger on the inside”.’
— Matt Hills, author of Triumph of a Time Lord and editor of New Dimensions of Doctor Who
