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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Snelson,William MacAuley,David Allen Kirby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474486428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474486422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.49d","brand":"Tim Snelson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065622016255,"sku":"9781474486422","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92add9b4-5daa-4c62-9d5f-0a5049a38394.jpg?v=1768676194","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/demons-of-the-mind-tim-snelson-9781474486422","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
