A particularly useful teaching tool for the diagnosis and understanding of the various psychopathologies for students of the helping professions. I commend it to the reader, be the reader student or professor. --Allan Barclay, PhD, St. Louis, Missouri "
A classic resource and an authoritative guide... Like the very movies it recommends, Movies and Mental Illness is a powerful medium for teaching students, engaging patients, and educating the public. Wedding, Boyd, and Niemiec have produced an invaluable guide for all those committed to understanding the human experience." --John C. Norcross, PhD, University of Scranton (Editor, Journal of Clinical Psychology; 2009 President of the Society of Clinical Psychology

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book,
By Linda W. Burr (Walden, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Movies and Mental Illness: Using Films to Understand Psychopathology (Paperback)
This book was exactly what it says it is. It gives you hundreds of movies and explains what mental illnesses are depicted or meant to be depicted. It does not go into great detail about each mental illness, its primary focus is on movies. It definitely wanted to make me watch several of the movies discussed or re-watch movies because of things I had missed. Good book overall.

This review is from: Movies and Mental Illness: Using Films to Understand Psychopathology (Paperback)
Excellent way to introduce diagnosis to new Graduate students. It helps reduce the "overwhelming" aspect of new information.

Thought provoking,

This review is from: Movies and Mental Illness (Paperback)
I'm a writer, was looking at this book for research....found it a curious mix of fact, movie lore, and psychology/psychiatry. It's not an in depth analysis on any one kind of mental illnes, but think anyone interested in these topics would find the book readable, interesting, and thought provoking.
