  • Recommended Movies and Television Programs Featuring Psychotherapy and People with Mental Disorders Timothy C
    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.

  • The Stars Are Aligning in Toronto
    The Stars are Aligning in Toronto The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), now in its 40th year, has grown from an upstart film movement in 1976 to a global cinematic tour de force. Whereas Cannes is known as the Queen of Film Festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival has risen to second in the rankings, frequently referred to as Cannes’ Feisty Princess. For this year’s opening, Quebec filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée landed TIFF’s coveted opening gala slot withDemolition , starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts and Chris Cooper. Jean- Marc Vallée, of course, also directed Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club (a TIFF premiere in 2013) and Reese Witherspoon in Wild. TIFF’s long history is rich with under-the-radar movies that went on to become international blockbusters: Chariots of Fire (1981), The Big Chill (1983), The Fisher King (1991), American Beauty (1999), Crash (2004), Slumdog Millionaire (2009), The King’s Speech (2010) and Silver Linings Playbook (2012). Here are our top picks from this year’s festival: Black Mass Starring Johnny Depp as Boston’s feared underworld mobster turned FBI informant, James “Whitey” Bolger, is being heralded as the breakout role in Depp’s current career slump and an Oscar-worthy performance. Depp is evil incarnate right down to his creepy blue contact lenses. Kevin Bacon, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dakota Johnson co-star. In theaters now. The Martian Director Ridley Scott and Matt Damon team up to knock this space film out of the park. Damon is an astronaut stranded on Mars. An out-of-this-world MacGiver, he relies on his expansive engineering and botany skills to stay alive as the ground crew figures out how to get him home.

  • Humanicide: from Myth to Risk a History and Two Possible Futures for Western Globalisation
    ARTICLE .15 Humanicide: From Myth to Risk A History and Two Possible Futures for Western Globalisation Chris C. Stewart Australian Foresight Institute Australia Abstract The Fisher King myth provides an explanatory logic for reviewing globalisation: its past, present and potential.1 The conclusion is twofold.2 The real predicament of globalisation is simple survival. Then, the quality of that survival. Humanity is, for the first time in history, poised on multiple fronts to wilfully or negligently com- mit humanicide: the annihilation of our species to all but a stranded handful.3 Both survival and its quality involve the whole of humanity. They speak to the consequences that are integral to any choices we make, as individuals, communities, nations, and, as a species. This Fisher King mythic interpretation of Western globali- sation identifies the outlines of the risk profile for humanity in the 21st Century, and, speaks to a global agenda for action.

Eliot’s attempts to match the potency of his most significant work to date: “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” In the interlude between his two greatest works, Eliot had married, settled quite permanently in England, and begun to fear that his potential as a poet, once so promising, was all for naught.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.

  • Has Portrayal of Disabled People in the Media
    BROADSHEET : MOVING IMAGE PORTRAYAL OF DISABILITY: THEN AND NOW! Has portrayal of disabled people in the media improved in recent years? There are more story lines about disabled characters with more subtlety and less stereotyping in television and film. Television-Carrie Mathieson (bi-polar)in Homeland played by Claire Danes; Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini ) keeps his mental health anxiety issues going through 7 series of the Sopranos; Monk, the detective with OCPD, brings his unique thinking to solve crimes, Doc Martin, played by Martin Clunes, with OCD has proved very popular, as the audience engage with his difficulty in navigating the world. There has been a welcome casting of disabled actors to play disabled characters in soaps, and long running dramas. This builds on the pioneering retaining of Roger Tonge as Sandy Richardson when he developed Hodgkin’s used crutches and a wheelchair in Crossroads ( ATV 1964-1981) and Julie Fernandez (wheelchair user) in Eldorado (BBC 1981-82); Adam Best in the BBC’s Eastenders (David Proud 2009-2010) followed by Donna Yates (Lisa Hammond) of short stature and wheelchair user, 2014 onwards. Kitty Mc Geever (blind) played Lizzie Lakely in Emmerdale (ITV from 2009-2013). In Hollyoaks Kelly Marie Stewart (wheelchair user) played Haley Ramsey. More recently, wheelchair using Cherylee Houston plays Izzy Anstey in Coronation Street. Liz Carr plays Clarrisa Mullery in Silent Witness. American long running series have cast more disabled actors portraying disabled parts, Paula Sage (learning difficulties) plays Roberta Brogan in Afterlife; Peter Drinklage ( restricted growth) plays Tyrone in Game of Thrones; R J Mitte (cerebral palsy) plays Walt Junior in Breaking Bad.
