Rosenhan's Experiment dvd: being sane in insane places
Ref: 1789
Can psychiatrists reliably detect insanity? Rosenhan set out to test if they could in his 1973 study. When all of his pseudo patients were diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, forced to remain in institutions and only released once they agreed to accept medication, Rosenhan's study forced many challenging questions on the psychiatric profession.
This dvd examines and evaluates this experiment, looking how it was viewed at the time and how it continues to influence psychiatry and the treatment of mental illness.

Into the Mind: Episode 1: Mind Control dvd
Ref: 1760
The first in a 3 part series presented by Dr Michael Mosley which explores the human mind through psychological experiments of the last century, and questions the ethics of how far some experimenters were prepared to go in their quest for knowledge. Original footage of many of these experiments makes uncomfortable viewing at times.
Episode 1 focuses on the bizarre and sinister ways in which science has been used to try and control our minds, featuring studies by Pavlov, Skinner, Milgram and Robert Heath.

Into the Mind: Episode 2: Emotions dvd
Ref: 1761
The second in a 3 part BBC series presented by Dr Michael Mosley which explores the human mind through psychological experiments of the last century, and questions the ethics of how far some experimenters were prepared to go in their quest for knowledge. Original footage of many of these experiments makes uncomfortable viewing at times.
This programme looks in detail at fear, love, aggression and empathy with particular reference to studies by J B Watson, Harlow and Bandura. Antonio Damasio's research into the importance of emotions for decision-making is also examined in some detail (the gambling test). Psychologists have, over the years, attempted to force the brain to produce specific emotions in response to particular stimuli.

Into The Mind: Episode 3: broken brains dvd
Ref: 1762
The final part of a 3 part BBC series presented by Dr Michael Mosley which explores the human mind through psychological experiments of the last century, and questions the ethics of how far some experimenters were prepared to go in their quest for knowledge.
Paul Broca's fascinating research in 1861 on Leborgne (known as 'Tan') is widely believed to be the start of neurosurgery as we know it today. Focusing on language, memory and split brain research this programme illustrates how years of painstaking experimentation on patients with damaged brains have offered the greatest insight into this organ, and have produced crucial mappings of the functions of the brain, which are used in neuroscience and surgery in the 21st century.

The Truth About Violence dvd
Ref: 1766
A fascinating BBC exploration of human aggression - what compels ordinary people to commit extreme acts of violence? Experts in the fields of neuroscience and psychology examine: the development of early aggressive behaviour; control mechanisms within the pre-frontal cortex that modify our core personality; the effects of brain damage, depression, sleep deprivation and alcohol and drug abuse on our levels of violence. A replication of Milgram's classic obedience to authority experiment clearly shows that normal people can inflict horrific torture as they convince themselves that violence is justified.

The Mind's Storehouse: memory dvd
Ref: 1746
This fascinating film opens the door onto the amazing way our brain encodes, stores, processes and retrieves information. Including comments from Loftus and Shiffrin we learn how vital memory is and how it can be affected by experience and physical damage.
Starting with an explanation of the multi-store model and moving on to explain Ebinghaus' theory of the effect on memory of processing, viewers follow key developments in our understanding of memory. The case study of HM explores memory as a biological function within the hippocampus and includes the role of amygdala.
Elizabeth Loftus talks about her research into changes to memory and why she challenges Freudian beliefs in repressed memories. Her work has proven key with regard to the understanding of the reliability of eyewitness testimonies, especially in legal cases.
