Synopsis of Frames of Minds: A History of Neuropsychiatry on Screen

«Frames of Minds: A History of Neuropsychiatry on Screen» is Eelco F.M. Wijdicks's essay on the history of neuropsychiatry in film, in hardback.

The book reviews the treatment of psychiatry on screen over the last century, from tropes that turn madness into a narrative device to films that denounce overdiagnosis and mistreatment. Wijdicks examines the psychoanalytic, biological, sociological, and anthropological perspectives of filmmakers.

Published by OUP USA in November 2024. 384 pages in English, with categories of films and history.

For those interested in film history and the representation of psychiatry and mental health on screen.
