Title: Re: health psychology movies
Hi everyone:
 
I am offering my health psychology class an opportunity to write an analysis of how various health-related themes are presented in the movies.  I'm calling the assignment, "Health Psychology Goes to the Movies."  Some of the movies I'm recommending for students are Patch Adams, Philadelphia, The Doctor, My Life, Shadowlands, and Lorenzo's Oil.  Does anyone else have any recommendations for movies dealing with chronic or terminal disease?  Also, does anyone have any guidelines for these types of analyses?

Rod -

How about "Stepmom"? The mother, her ex-husband, and their two kids have to cope with the mother's terminal cancer.

There's another Robin Williams movie (whose title escapes me) in which Williams plays a doctor trying to treat catatonic-like patients, one of whom is Robert DeNiro. Do any of the TIPsters remember the title for that one?
