Psychiatry and the Cinema

"Readers with a clinical background in psychiatry or medicine will be drawn to the first half of the book, which reviews the treatment of psychiatry and psychotherapy on screen from the earliest films to the present day. The discussion is both comprehensive and deep....More important, the Gabbards place the films they discuss in historical and literary context, simultaneously relating them to clinical experience. This approach fosters a sophisticated understanding of how films mirror clinical reality--and how they don't."Gabbard, Glen O. is the author of 'Psychiatry and the Cinema' with ISBN 9780880489645 and ISBN 0880489642.
