The fifth season of Game of Thrones recently ended, and I’m going through withdrawal. Then I started thinking, what if psychology were like Game of Thrones? For those of you who don’t know the show, here’s a quick summary. Set in a medieval, magical world, there is a land called Westeros where there are 7 Great Houses that were principalities now united into one kingdom. These houses have regional power over smaller (less powerful) houses in their area. The king of this world sits on the Iron Throne (a throne made of swords). In the book series and the show, the death of one king has led to an ongoing civil war with different leaders fighting to succeed him. Each House is run by a family (which gives the house its name) and has a sigil, a flag which includes a symbol and a saying. My favorite house is House Stark, which has a direwolf as its symbol and its saying is “Winter is coming”.
I started thinking what would Game of Thrones set in a psychology world look like? I started thinking of which psychologists might lead powerful houses and what might their slogan be. Here’s what I ended up with:
What house would you be in? If your preferred house is not listed, take a moment to create a sigil and think of a funny slogan for your house. You can make a sigil at this link and post it in the comments!
I think I would be House Rogers, This is hilarious. I really enjoy Carl Rogers work.
The house of Husserl/Heidegger/Sartre/Levinas established on the bedrock of Emmanuel Kant. Zu den Sachen Selbst (To the things themselves)
House Adler for the win! Our slogan could be: Inferiority – it’s complex.
What about House Gall? Ours is the Bumpy
And House Binet? As Smart As Stanford
House Hayes. We are new.. but taking over!
Logan: Accept and Resurrect!
House Zimbardo – Who is a guard will never be a prisoner.
How about House Frankl – Purpose > Happiness
i can’t wait for game of thrones season 6
