She appears to cover a lot of topics, including the price of conformity, the denial of reality, Hitchcock&#8217;s interpretations, women with mental illness, divine madness, war, and general violence. She looks at all these different genres and critiques how mental illness is portrayed. While she does not cover <em>M*A*S*H<\/em>, I&#8217;m still interested in many of the movies and shows she does mention, particularly the war genre, since that&#8217;s the area I&#8217;m most interested in. I think I&#8217;ll be looking into a copy of this to read sometime in the future, even if she doesn&#8217;t cover the show I was originally looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Jacqueline Noll Zimmerman. <em>People like Ourselves : Portrayals of Mental Illness in the Movies<\/em>.
