In the next Medicine on Screen essay, Seth Watter examines a use of cinema in psychiatry. Folie à Deux (1951) and The Faces of Depression (1959) are examples of attempts to create “diagnostic cinema,” a deployment of film to aid in the recognition and treatment of mental illnesses. Both Canadian productions depict a brief period before the domination of a pharmaceutical approach in which cinema was seen as a method to promote physician empathy.

This is a filming of the first session of an intensive basic encounter group led by Dr. Carl Rogers, widely known for developing a client-centered approach to psychotherapy and as a founder of humanistic psychology, and Dr. Richard Farson, a founder of the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute.
