    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenKnowledge@NAU Recommended Movies and Television Programs Featuring Psychotherapy and People with Mental Disorders Timothy C. Thomason Abstract This paper provides a list of 200 feature films and five television programs that may be of special interest to counselors, psychologists and other mental health professionals. Many feature characters who portray psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, or psychotherapists. Many of them also feature characters who have, or may have, mental disorders. In addition to their entertainment value, these videos can be seen as fictional case studies, and counselors can practice diagnosing the disorders of the characters and consider whether the treatments provided are appropriate. It can be both educational and entertaining for counselors, psychologists, and others to view films that portray psychotherapists and people with mental disorders. It should be noted that movies rarely depict either therapists or people with mental disorders in an accurate manner (Ramchandani, 2012). Most movies are made for entertainment value rather than educational value. For example, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a wonderfully entertaining Academy Award-winning film, but it contains a highly inaccurate portrayal of electroconvulsive therapy. It can be difficult or impossible for a viewer to ascertain the disorder of characters in movies, since they are not usually realistic portrayals of people with mental disorders. Likewise, depictions of mental health professionals in the movies are usually very exaggerated or distorted, and often include behaviors that would be considered violations of professional ethical standards. Even so, psychology students and psychotherapists may find some of these movies interesting as examples of what not to do.

  • Gus Van Sant Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Gus Van Sant Regis Dialogue with Scott Macaulay, 2003 Scott Macaulay: We're here at the Walker Art Center for Regis dialogue with American filmmaker Gus Van Sant. He'll be discussing the unique artistic vision that runs through his entire body of work. Gus was first recognized for a trilogy of films that dealt with street hustlers, Mala Noche, Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho. He then went on to experiment with forum and a number of other films including To Die For, Psycho and even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Gus is perhaps best known for his films, Goodwill Hunting and Finding Forrester, but all of his work including his latest film, Gerry, has his own unique touch. We'll be discussing Gus' films today during this Regis dialogue. I'm Scott Macaulay, producer and editor of Filmmaker Magazine. I'll be your guide through Gus' work today in this Regis dialogue. Thanks. Gus Van Sant: Thank you. Scott Macaulay: It's a real pleasure to be here with Gus Van Sant on this retrospective ... Which is called on the road again. I guess there are a lot of different illusions in that title, a lot of very obvious ones because a lot of Gus' movies deal with travel and change and people going different places, both locations within America but also in their lives. But another interesting implication of the title is that this retrospective is occurring on the eve of the release here and also nationwide of Gerry, which is really one of Gus' best and most moving films but it's also yet sort of another new direction for Gus as a filmmaker.

He was 89. His wife, Irene Ramp, said his death, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was caused by a heart attack. John Belushi, left, and Mr. Henry in the 1978 “Saturday Night Live” sketch “Samurai Optometrist.” Fred Hermansky/NBCUniversal via Getty Images As a personality and a performer, Mr. Henry had a mild and unassuming aspect that was usually in contrast with the pungently satirical or broadly slapstick material he appeared in — and often wrote. Others in the room always seemed to make more noise. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/movies/buck-henry-dead.html 1/6 1/11/2020 Buck Henry, Who Helped Create ‘Get Smart’ and Adapt ‘The Graduate,’ Dies at 89 - The New York Times Indeed, for almost 50 years he was a Zelig-like figure in American comedy, a ubiquitous if underrecognized presence not only in grand successes but also in grand failures.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • And the Winner Is
    And the Winner Is . • • Nation's Film Critics Find Few Hits, a Lot of Misses in '91 1 01 9 1 By Pat McGilligan and Mark Rowland Special in The Wa3hington Post ever mind that Hollywood had a bad year, finan- cially speaking. What kind of movie year was 1991, artistically speaking? NIt sucked," Owen Gleiberman, film critic for Entertainment Weekly, put it succinctly. "The worst movie year 1 can remember," echoed Tony Lucia of the Reading (Pa.) Eagle. "I had trouble putting together a Top 10." "Grim," agreed David Ansen of Newsweek. "The big studio product, with few exceptions, was timid, unimagi- native and dumb. And Hollywood is encouraging the au- dience to have the same attributes." No wonder audiences stayed away in droves. If there was any unanimity among the nation's film critics, it was that 1991 produced one of the all-time worst crops of movies. But the critics concur on little else. The Los Angeles Film Critics Association hailed the sweeping gangster saga "Bugsy" as Best Film of 1991. The New York Film Critics Circle tilted toward the chill- ing "The Silence of the Lambs." The National Society of Film Critics, also New York-based, gave its nod to "Life Is Sweet," a funny, oddball look at a British working-class family by director Mike Leigh. - To seek a more democratic consensus, we went out- side the big-city organizations and conducted a poll of 81 newspaper, magazine and television film critics—a sam- pling from across the country. Critics were asked to vote the best film achievements of 1991—in effect, "Critics' Oscars." The results showed some surprising winners— and the most splintered voting in the 12-year history of this poll.

  • James Newlin
    The State(s) They‘re In: Intersections of the Henriad, Hustler Narratives, And Alternative Music in Gus Van Sant‘s My Own Private Idaho James Newlin The State(s) They‘re In: Intersections of the Henriad, Hustler Narratives, and Alternative Music in Gus Van Sant‘s My Own Private Idaho By James Newlin “An inheritance,‖ Derrida writes in Specters of Marx, ―is always the reaffirmation of a debt, but a critical, selective, and filtering reaffirmation…‖ (114). Gus Van Sant‘s highly allusive film My Own Private Idaho marks itself as an heir to various histories and genres— including the genre the History, demonstrated by the film‘s oft-noted reworking of Shakespeare‘s Henriad—and in this paper, I investigate a similar ―critical, selective, and filtering reaffirmation‖ in the film, in order to interrogate Idaho‘s collage-effect and structure. I contend that the way Van Sant juxtaposes Shakespeare‘s History with his other sources—Orson Welles‘s earlier filmed version of the Henry Plays, Chimes at Midnight, hustler narratives, and, punk, folk, popular, and ―alternative‖ music—must be read as a thoroughly personal vision, constructed out of engagements with historically situated genres and texts that force Idaho‘s viewers to resist their expectations about those genres and texts. By defying genre, Van Sant challenges our notions of what makes an ―authentic‖ Shakespeare adaptation, hustler narrative, or punk song; he produces something that goes beyond ―authentic,‖ and becomes something fantastical. Consider one blind spot found in some earlier analyses of My Own Private Idaho: i.e. the ―gritty, realistic‖ reading of the film.
