Wedding & Niemiec (2014) wrote a college-level text book describing suitable films for educating aspiring clinicians about many of the recognized mental health conditions for example, Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), The Hours (2002), and Garden State (2004) were suggested for mood disorders. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the leading federal agency advancing the nation's behavioral health, already promotes the use of film for educating the public about mental illness, de-stigmatizing mental health conditions, and motivating people to seek treatment.
If the patient stays quiet, you can say: ‘I see you’ve been quietwhat are you. However, it can be an adjunct to the treatment process.įoremost, there is general agreement that film can educate clients and families about mental health disorders, particularly early in the treatment process ( Wedding & Niemiec, 2003). Uncomfortable physicians often make the mistake of rushing into discussion of treatment options, but they should be giving patients a moment to process the news, Leigh says. Note that watching films is not therapy and will likely never be. To continue building upon these guidelines, we need to consider what film can add to the therapy process.
