内容説明

Films are a powerful medium for teaching students of psychology, social work, medicine, nursing, counselling 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. Now in an updated edition, this book has established a great reputation as an enjoyable and highly memorable supplementary teaching tool for abnormal psychology classes. 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. The new edition of a popular and unique teaching tool - movies as an aid to learning about mental illness! Reviews nearly 1,000 films illustrative of psychopathology!
