Good Psychology Movie

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
I recently watched a good movie that represented the mental health profession well. The movie is "Neverwas" and it has some great actors. It takes place in an inpatient psychiatric institution that is run with professionalism, compassion and ethics (unlike the way psychology is represented in many movies). The main characters (including the young psychiatrist) struggle nobly with various kinds of psychological traumas and disorders. In the end, compassion, creativity and grace win out over cold, technical, textbook treatment. I highly recommend it, though it is not a good movie for kids or for anyone who is frightened by the realities of mental illness.
