The genesis for this course was the generally poor, inaccurate and stigmatized understanding of mental illness in society based on portrayals in popular media including Hollywood produced films. However, over the past several years the depth and accuracy of awareness and knowledge has changed, as the depiction of mental illness and treatment services in films has improved and the availability of narrative accounts has increased. This course is designed to allow Human and Social Development majors, with a particular interest in wellness and human services, to explore varying portrayals of mental illnesses in popular media. The course will foster critical analysis of narrative and film depictions of illness, as well as connect these depictions to a broader narrative on stigma, social determinants of illness and wellness, prevention and intervention.
