Movies and Mental Illness 3th edition

Movies and Mental Illness Description

Movies and Mental Illness 3 Edition Films are a powerful medium for teaching students of psychology, social work, medicine, nursing, counseling, and even literature or media studies about mental illness and psychopathology. An enjoyable and highly memorable supplementary teaching tool for abnormal psychology classes. Written by experienced clinicians and teachers, who are themselves movie aficionados, this book is superb not just for psychology or media studies classes, but also for anyone interested in the portrayal of mental health issues in movies. Helpful to laypersons wanting to learn more about psychopathology, to college-level instructors organizing a course on abnormal psychology, and for elective offerings to medical students and-or psychiatric residents who might enjoy a less formal, somewhat relaxing and 'fun' way to engage topics in psychopathology.
