Films can be a powerful aid to learning about mental illness and psychopathology - for practitioners and students in fields as diverse as psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, counseling, literature, or media studies, and for anyone interested in mental health. This uniquely enjoyable and highly memorable text has been completely revised to explore current issues, such as children's screentime and celebrities with mental illness, and to include the numerous films that have been released since the last edition. Downloadable tools for teachers include critical questions, topics for discussion, and fabricated case histories based on movie characters.
