title: [The representation of the mental patient in motion pictures].
abstract: By the examples of 80 movies from different countries, the study describes the representation of mental patients, in the films. They are shown as victims of family and society. And the psychiatric hospital is never shown as therapeutic, but only used for keeping away, and bringing back the stray sheep to the social fold.
