Thornton, Arland. Reading History Sideways: the Fallacy and Enduring Inpact of The
Thornton, Arland. Reading History Sideways: The Fallacy and Enduring Inpact of the Developmental Paradigm on Family Life. University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 2005. x, 312 pp.$39 By “reading history sideways,” Arland Thornton means an approach that uses information from a variety of societies at one point in time to make inferences about change over time. He attacks this method as both pervasive and pernicious, influencing scholars, past and present, as well as ordinary people and governments around the world today. A well-known demographer and sociologist, Thornton first set forth his critique to a larger audience in his 2001 presidential address to the Population Association of America (PAA). In his intellectual history of the approach, he absolves Scottish and English writers of the Enlightenment of much blame. Lacking reliable information about the distant past of their own society, authors such as John Millar, Adam Smith, and Robert Malthus seized on data pouring in from European visitors to non-European worlds as a substitute for genuine historical information. Nevertheless, they launched an enduring and fatally flawed perspective. In this book, Thornton concentrates on subjects from his areas of expertise—demographic and family studies—as he criticizes the application of the traditional-to-modern paradigm. In my opinion, Thornton’s reading of the Enlightenment founders is not so much inaccurate as it is single-minded in its emphasis and vague in its documentation. Perhaps because of his narrow, relentless focus, Thornton does not bother to cite page numbers for his sources. In my view, these writers were not principally concerned with setting forth a historical account of change over time.

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.

Press Release 23/5/2018
THE KARLOVY VARY FESTIVAL TO HONOR ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR BARRY LEVINSON At this year’s Karlovy Vary festival, screenwriter-producer-director Barry Levinson, who won an Academy Award for Rain Man, will accept the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema. The Karlovy Vary festival continues its tradition of recognizing the most important personalities of world cinema, the likes of which include directors William Friedkin, Jerry Schatzberg, and Ken Loach, and screenwriter Paul Laverty. In his writing and directing capacity, Academy Award winner and five-time nominee Barry Levinson deftly combines personal stories with an often satirical look at society, and his movies have fundamentally influenced numerous young filmmakers. Barry Levinson established himself as a writer of successful television shows. With his onetime wife, Valerie Curtin, he then wrote the movie script for Norman Jewison’s courtroom drama …and justice for all (1979), which brought them an Oscar nomination. He debuted as a director with the comedy-drama Diner (1982), receiving his second Oscar nomination for the script. Ivan Král, a Czech musician based in the US, co- wrote the film music. Subsequent titles confirmed his reputation with critics and audiences: The Natural (1984) with Robert Redford, Tin Men (1987) with Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito, and Good Morning, Vietnam (1987) with Robin Williams. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the legendary picture Rain Man (1988), awarded four Oscars (e.g. Best Director for Barry Levinson) and numerous other honors, including the Golden Bear at the Berlinale and the David di Donatello for Best Foreign Film.

On-The-Waterfront-Study-Guide
On the Waterfront Study Guide Acknowledgements Writer: Susan Bye Education Programmer Australian Centre for the Moving Image Susan’s primary role at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image is to support the teaching of film as text to secondary school students. Initially trained as an English teacher, she studied and taught film and media at La Trobe University before joining ACMI in 2009. Study Guide > On the Waterfront 2 On the Waterfront: difficult choices in an uncertain world The purpose of this guide is to provide an introduction to On the Waterfront (PG, Elia Kazan, 103 mins, USA, 1954), an overview of the commentary and debate that the film has generated and some ideas that will help you form your own interpretation of this challenging film. Studying and Interpreting On the Waterfront On the Waterfront is a film that is as problematic as it is extraordinary. It carries with it an interesting history which has, over the years, affected the way people have responded to the film. On the Waterfront encourages different and conflicting interpretations, with its controversial ending being a particular source of debate. This study guide is intended as an informative resource, providing background information and a number of different ways of thinking about the film. One of the most exciting and satisfying aspects of the film is its capacity to invite and sustain different and multifaceted interpretations. On the Waterfront focuses on life’s uncertainty and confusion, depicting both Father Barry’s dogmatic certainty and Johnny Friendly’s egotistical self-confidence as dangerously blinkered. For some viewers, Father Barry’s vision of collective action and Terry Malloy’s confused struggle to be a better man belong in two different films; however, the contrast between these two ways of looking at, and responding to, life’s challenges highlights the limitations of each of these perspectives.

Dances with Wolves It Is Difficult to Imagine What It Would Be Like to Watch an Entire People and Their Way of Life Vanish Within a Lifetime
Wink: An Online Journal 1 Film Review: Mackenzie Halfman Instructor: Tracy Helixon Dances with Wolves It is difficult to imagine what it would be like to watch an entire people and their way of life vanish within a lifetime. It is even harder to imagine being a part of that culture, knowing only a certain amount of time is left before everything previously known to that lifestyle is terminated. This predicament comes face to face with the characters in Dances with Wolves, an outstanding movie based on the unjust expulsion of the Sioux plains’ Indians. Directed by and starring Kevin Costner, the story follows Civil War-era soldier John Dunbar deep into the American Frontier and the lives of the people who once occupied it. The film’s unforgettable story, outstanding cast, and beautiful soundtrack make it both enjoyable and moving. Perhaps the most distinguishing of all features in the film is its story. Both novel and screenplay written by Michael Blake, Dances with Wolves allows viewers a better understanding of the Sioux. The story, through many carefully crafted segments of daily lives and personal conundrums, gets the audience to care deeply about the characters. The film begins by following Kevin Costner’s character John Dunbar, who self assigns himself to an abandoned soldier post in the American Frontier. He is alone with his horse Cisco for various scenes in the movie, introducing viewers to his habits and narrated thoughts. One scene shows Dunbar shortly after having encountered a Sioux member for the first time. Writing in his journal, his thoughts become narrated.

Driving Miss Daisy – Mother &
Driving Miss Daisy 1 In the dark we hear a car ignition turn on, and then a horrible crash. Bangs and booms and wood splintering. When the noise is very loud, it stops suddenly and the lights come up on Daisy Werthan’s living room, or a portion thereof. Daisy, age 72, is wearing a summer dress and high heeled shoes. Her hair, her clothes, her walk, everything about her suggests bristle and feist and high energy. She appears to be in excellent health. Her son, Boolie Werthan 40, is a businessman, Junior Chamber of Commerce style. He has a strong capable air. The Werthans are Jewish, but they have strong Atlanta accents. DAISY. No! BOOLIE. Mama! DAISY. No! BOOLE. Mama! DAISY. I said no, Boolie, and that’s the end of it. BOOLIE. It’s a miracle you’re not laying in Emory Hospital---- or decked out at the funeral home. Look at you! You didn’t even break your glasses. DAISY. It was the car’s fault. BOOLIE. Mama, the car didn’t just back over the driveway and land on the Pollard’s garage all by itself. You had it in the wrong gear. DAISY. I did not! BOOLIE. You put it in reverse instead of drive. The police report shows that. DAISY. You should have let me keep my La Salle. BOOLIE. Your La Salle was eight years old. DAISY. I don’t care. It never would have behaved this way. And you know it. BOOLIE. Mama, cars, don’t behave. They are behaved upon. The fact is you, all by yourself, demolished that Packard.
