• How Edward and Jacob match up in an evolutionary psychology smackdown for Bella's—and our—affection
• Whether Bella's motorcycle-riding and cliff diving in New Moon are suicidal—or her salvation
• Why vampires and werewolves aren't so different after all (at least psychologically)
• The emotional appeal of love stories like Bella and Edward's
• Why being a part of Twilight fandom is good for your psychological health

Snuggle up on the closest chaise, and get ready to revisit the Twilight Saga—with some professional help.
