"Can you imagine ...going to the movies, or renting a DVD to earn your continuing education credits or to complete your school assignments, asks Dr. Sally Gelardin (pictured)?

That’s the vision of Dr. Francine R. Goldberg – who adapted her method of classroom teaching and training at New York University to home and/or self study learning. …Having bumbled through the alphabet soup of DSM codes in my Masters program over a decade ago, I was relieved to discover that the Beneficial Film Guide accompanying the movie, A BEAUTIFUL MIND," brings the DSM codes to life, with demonstrations of course concepts by leading actors, such as Russell Crowe…

…Demonstrations of concepts in all the Beneficial Film Guides can be cross-referenced between each Guide’s explanations and the corresponding scenes in the box office DVD  (available from our DVD store)...

...With war-torn soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and with hurricane, earth quake, tsunami and other trauma victims joining the slew of challenged individuals who are born with or who have developed diagnostic disorders, these film guides will fill a much-needed niche...

Dr. Sally Gelardin produces e-learning curriculum design and development, career expert audios, presentations,  publications, and media interviews and author of The Mother-Daughter Relationship: Activities for Promoting Lifework Success and Career Caregiving: Empowering the Workforce http://www.AskDrSal.com.

The following excerpts from BookWire™  (Dec. 2006), the book industry’s resource and most comprehensive online portal, provide a brief review of some Beneficial Film Guide:

The guides use movies to illustrate the symptoms and behaviors of certain psychiatric disorders, providing a clear picture... Bipolar Disorder: A Case Study of the Movie MR. JONES..., starring Richard Gere serves as an easily understandable introduction to Bipolar Disorder. By watching the action play out, then reading the additional notes, the reader is given a lucid introduction to the signs, symptoms, and treatment for bipolar disorder...The film guide Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Case Study of the Movie AS GOOD AS IT GETS, starring Jack Nicholson, is intended to serve as a vivid illustration of psychiatry at work, rather than an in-depth study of OCD... Those first learning about OCD as well as those who could use a refresher will both find Beneficial Film Guides to be illuminating. Schizophrenia: A Case Study of A BEAUTIFUL MIND, starring Russell Crowe, provides a thorough introduction to the symptoms, behaviors, and treatments associated with schizophrenia. ...Sexual Harassment: A Look at the Movie 9 TO 5, starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton, is a means for focusing on the complicated world of sexual harassment. This guide focuses heavily on legal findings, citing several relevant rulings... Additionally, 9 to 5 is a comedy, which can make some of the film guide's commentary seem overly earnest by comparison. The film guide is nonetheless a useful introduction to the issues surrounding sexual harassment.
