canadian psychiatrists = WACKY
............I just found a paper called, I kid you not, Mental illness in Disney animated films.
Why must you torment me by only providing full text from September 2004, Canadian Journal of Psychiatry website? Why not June 2004? WHY CAN'T I READ ABOUT DISNEY CHARACTERS AND MENTAL ILLNESS?
I can, however, access Reel Psychiatry: Movie Portrayals of Psychiatric Conditions, which is one of my favourite medical humanities topics EVER. ETA: Oh, blast, it's only a review of a book with this title. Well. I need to track down the book, clearly!
(Okay, look, I started off hunting down articles about the psychiatry of death, on which we were given a lecture by an awesome old woman who looked approvingly at me when I was the only person to stick my hand up when she asked if anyone read Walt Whitman. And then she quoted Whitman at me. And lots of philosophers and authors. I...kind of want to be her when I grow up. Anyway, if you know me at all you will know just how well psychiatry + death = brilliant fusion of two of my major areas of academic interest. So I was finding some stuff to read. But then I just stumbled across the Disney thing and got UNDERSTANDABLY SIDETRACKED.)
ETA 2: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Putting Harry Potter on the Couch: This article will explore J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter (2004) literary series from a psychoanalytical perspective.
fslkafjsadkhsads wtf
ETA 3: I won't add any more to this post because I'll end up never stopping, but you should all plug 'mental disorders' AND 'motion pictures' into MedLine and see what comes out, because some of it is HILARIOUS.

I... don't think it's about what you thought it was about, though. Just from reading the abstract. Still, maybe it is ^^ Hope you have fun skimming it (I know I did)
(I found the HP on the couch (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m1mn2vf0ynt) article up as well. If you don't have it yet :))

I've already got the HP one, which is actually looking a lot more interesting/potentially clinically useful than I'd thought.

In December 2000, a Canadian medical journal jokingly "diagnosed" characters in the books and films with various mental illnesses, e.g. Winnie the Pooh shows signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Tigger shows signs of ADHD etc
I found the article, bceause I thought that was hilarious ;) It's here (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5zorejfmm2y) ;) Suitably titled "Pathology in the Hundred Acre Wood" *grins*
off topic sorry :)
