In the 1960s, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals
intervened in and influenced cinema culture in unprecedented ways,
changing how films were conceived, produced, censored, exhibited
and received by audiences. Drawing upon extensive archival
research, Demons of the Mind provides the first interdisciplinary
account of the complex contestations and cross-pollinations of the
'psy' sciences (psychiatry, psychoanalysis, psychology) and cinema
in Britain and America during the defining 'long 1960s' period of
the late-1950s to early-1970s. This interdisciplinary book
incorporates expertise from film studies, history of science and
medicine, and science communication. The originality of this book
is not solely its interdisciplinarity and exploration beyond the
narrow study of representational practices - typically the primary
focus of other books on cinema and the psy professions. In large
part, this book's originality rests on its investigation of
situated practices and interplay between ideas, expertise and
professionals that constitute the fields of mental health and
media.
