Since 1999, this site has grown to include hundreds of films which deal with psychological issues. Some contain characters with mental disorders, some include mental health professionals, and others reflect dysfunctional family relationships. The accuracy of portrayal varies. This is intentional, as I believe that there is value in identifying what is inaccurate, as well as what conforms to diagnostic criteria or ethical guidelines for psychologists.
   
Unfortunately, some films are not readily available at your local rental site, but may be available through other options, such as Netflix or Blockbuster Total Access.

The site is currently undergoing updating, revision, and improvement. What is being changed since the earlier versions is that the list will be limited according to the entertainment quality of the film. That is, typically only those movies with Internet Movie Database viewer ratings of greater than 6.0 (on a scale from 1-10) will ultimately be included. New films are being added, as well as resources, and additional information about selected films. Stay tuned!

Enjoy your visit!
