The book contrasts perceptions of reality between a group of psychiatric patients and the institutional staff.

A 26-item questionnaire was constructed by the authors and administered to the students. At set times during the questionnaire, students were asked to view five movie clips showing, or making reference to, ECT. The clips were from Return to Oz, The Hudsucker Proxy, Ordinary People, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Beverly Hillbillies. Ninety-four students participated in the study. Levels of knowledge about the indications, side effects, and mode of administration were poor, and attitudes were generally negative. Viewing the ECT scenes influenced attitudes toward the treatment; after viewing, one-third of the students decreased their support for ECT, and the proportion of students who would dissuade a family member or friend from having ECT rose from less than 10% to almost 25%. </blockquote><br /><br />(C) 2002 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc. </span> <br /><!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /><!--[endif]--></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188417928667426260.post-69798029163255219522008-03-31T10:30:00.000-07:002008-03-31T10:31:58.723-07:00Impact<p class="MsoNormal">Impact of the film, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," on attitudes towards mental illness.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Domino G.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&uid=6635061&cmd=showdetailview&indexed=google">PMID: 6635061</a> [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188417928667426260.post-15283372580163774972008-03-31T10:26:00.000-07:002008-03-31T10:27:13.943-07:00Theaterverslag<div class="clearfix verslagkop"> <a href="http://www.scholieren.com/werkstukken/7976"></a><a href="http://www.scholieren.com/werkstukken/7976">Theaterverslag </a>Nederlands <br />One flew over the cuckoo's nest<a href="http://www.scholieren.com/werkstukken/trefwoord/?zoek=One+flew+over+the+cuckoo%27s+nest"></a> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188417928667426260.post-45421010682501742942008-03-31T10:24:00.001-07:002008-03-31T10:25:07.820-07:00Teaching<strong>Teaching Medical Sociology through Film: Theoretical Perspectives and Practical Tools</strong><br />Bernice A.

This module will examine a number of novels and films, dating from 1961 to 2003, which represent cognitive impairment as an example of such disability/exceptionality. It will specifically focus on four neurobehavioral conditions – schizophrenia, Tourette’s syndrome, aphasia and autism – that have frequently been a source of fascination for both practitioners of art and contemporary culture more widely. In doing so, it will address a number of key issues – technology, individuality, masculinity, sentimentality, genre and narrative form, and a concern to define ‘the human’ – that recur throughout the presentation of mental impairment. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Texts for essential Purchase</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br />1.

Specifically, I argue that we need to push our students away from dualistic or relativistic thinking toward the ability to apply the sociological perspective in health, illness, and healing and to understand its limits as well as its promise. This type of teaching can be accomplished through a style that requires students to actively participate in the classroom. One way to do this, particularly in large classes where other strategies are not feasible, is to use feature films as "cases." The key advantage to this teaching strategy lies in its critical match with current students' high visual literacy. I focus on three substantive topics: mental illness, death-dying, and the political economy of illness. I supply details on films and support materials.

Dating<br />from the first psychiatric film, Dr. Dippy's Sanitarium (1906), almost<br />500 movies dealing with the specialty have been made. While the film<br />industry has demonstrated a particular fascination for depicting<br />psychotherapy, physical treatments including electroconvulsive therapy have also<br />been featured (McDonald and Walter, 2001; Walter, 1998). Indeed, some<br />of the major psychiatric films--The Snake Pit (1948), One Flew Over the<br />Cuckoo's Nest (1975), Frances (1982) and Shine (1996)--have prominent<br />convulsive therapy scenes. (See the Table for a selected chronology of<br />films depicting ECT.)</blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188417928667426260.post-52789493089735090582008-03-03T05:00:00.000-08:002008-03-03T05:01:17.206-08:00ModelsH.

The film treats many dense, interconnected issues, including a discussion of antisocial behavior, a description of what happens when a person is institutionalized, and the longstanding conflation of criminality and mental illness. In studying the roles, responsibilities, actions, and reactions of characters, one important theme to explore is the favoring of scientific knowledge over other forms of knowing and the implications for all members of the community--but especially for those with the disabled label. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest also illustrates many serious issues, including the taken-for-granted extreme levels of surveillance to which those with disabilities are often subjected, inappropriate experimentation and "treatments" for those who are deemed mentally ill, and overreliance on pills to control people who act differently from the norm. In addition, the movie offers clear instances in which the self-interest of services ostensibly designed to support people with disabilities contributes to the maintenance of inequities, with those who run the services--no matter how well intentioned they are--upholding the status quo.</blockquote><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188417928667426260.post-76139211994277972742008-03-03T04:44:00.001-08:002008-03-03T04:44:54.404-08:00Disability Studies<p class="MsoNormal">Re-engaging the Body: Disability Studies and the Resistance to Embodiment<br />Snyder and Mitchell<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://publicculture.dukejournals.org/cgi/content/refs/13/3/367">Public Culture</a>. 2001; 13: 367-390</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188417928667426260.post-8659821448947348532008-03-03T04:39:00.000-08:002008-03-03T04:44:00.028-08:00format<p class="MsoNormal">FILM IN REVIEW; 'Manic'<br />By DAVE KEHR<br /><a href="http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?_r=1&res=9501E6D8173DF936A15757C0A9659C8B63&oref=slogin">The New York Times.</a><br />Published: April 25, 2003</p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote>The script, by Michael Bacall and Blayne Weaver, doesn't break new ground dramatically: this is essentially the ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'' format applied to sensitive adolescents, à la ''Girl, Interrupted.''</blockquote><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
