Psychology is the field that studies human behavior and mental processes. There are many different sub-specialties within research and applied psychology, including child, adult, senior, business, cultural, and health psychology. Cognitive science–a central study in psychology–involves the examination of how mental processes work, the relation between the mind and brain, and how physical regularities are converted into perceptions of the world. A degree in psychology can take a professional in to many different career fields, including business, social work, education and medicine.

And it’s not only his kids that are saying that it isn’t so. Go read the Cartoon Brew page. Their are friends and co-workers saying he was not like that all the time.

Also, David Michaelis never met Charles Schulz.

I don’t think that his children have denied that he was a complex man, nor depicted him as being incapable of sadness – it’s more the feeling the Michaelis depicted him as little but, as permanently morose, and most particularly as a cold-and-distant father… which is something where they have a far more informed perspective than Michaelis did.

And a fanatical hockey player! I grew up not too far from the ice rink Schultz owned (and I’m sure heavily subsidized to keep it open) in Santa Rosa, CA. He was pretty easy to spot in the old-timer games.

Does hockey lend itself to melancholy? ;)

Thanks for the heads-up, Heidi. I would have completely spaced this out.

I also appreciated your insights into Shultz from your interview with him. I’m not sure what to think regarding the warring factions of who Charles Schultz really was, though I tend to come down on the side of those who honestly see a complex, often troubled man. It’s natural and understandable that his kids would want to keep him high on a pedestal, but anyone even remotely familiar with Schultz’s work really isn’t surprised to find out he was a melancholy and sensitive philosopher.
