ABSTRACT

References to this popular television show appeared frequently in the associations of many single women and proved to be most helpful for the analytic work. The characters served as role models for friendship and support as well as giving comfort as they discovered that even gorgeous bright women suffered in their dating lives. Several episodes from Season 6 (2003) are examined for the features that make this series so popular as well as psychologically helpful. The issues were: body narcissism, sexual inhibitions, dealing with breakups and abandonment, actions that destroy relationships, envy, and attempts to control the uncontrollable.
