Movies and Mental Illness
Films are a powerful medium for teaching students of psychology, social work, medicine, nursing, counseling and even literature or media studies about psychopathology. The clinical chapters of this book, each of which deals with a category of disorders, are thus all introduced by means of a fabricated case history and a Mini-Mental State Examination. This is followed in each chapter by synopses and scenes from one or more specific, often well-known films to explain and teach students about the most important disorders encountered in clinical practice.

Written by experienced clinicians and teachers, it also includes helpful teaching tools such as suggestions for class discussions and questions to consider while viewing films.

This volume presents the reader with a stimulating tapestry of essays exploring the nature of personal autonomy, self-determination, and agency, and their role in human optimal functioning at multiple levels of analysis from personal to societal and cross-cultural. The starting point for these explorations is self-determination theory, an integrated theory of human motivation and healthy development which has been under development for more than three decades (Deci & Ryan, 2000). As the contributions will make clear, psychological autonomy is a concept that forms the bridge between the dependence of human behavior on biological and socio-cultural determinants on the one side, and people’s ...
