Cognitive to clinical to social, the many applications of psychology reveal profound thoughts, human frailties and strengths. These are some of the best results, framed in video players.

This list intrigued me. Is there an archive of these type movies online?
Hi Mel – there are many archives, but they’re usually for a specific event, disorder, school or television site so you have to weed through things. Many blogs also offer occasional videos but not always. But one site you might like (disclosure: it’s my own non-profit site) is Channel N. It curates videos and has an archive of links and embeds.
Are you looking for something specific? I might be able to direct you.
The titles of these videos are hysterical.
I don’t really understand the last one, but okay.
I would also highly recommend “The Eye of the Storm”, which documents an elementary school teacher’s experiments with racism/superiority as simulated via eye color.
Milgram??? what about his. i mean if u have Zimbado (stanford prison simulation) then y not his. also something on sperrys split brain study. both well worthy of this list
People actually buying this shit? (I mean psychology as a science, in general). “I Am Not Sick, I Don’t Need Help: Research on Poor Insight and How We Can Help.” -> Give us your money and we’ll spend some time convincing you that you have a problem, then we’ll “treat” ya
It’s narrow mindedness like that that stops mental health issues being recognised, just because you don’t see something, doesn’t mean it isn’t there, and the same goes for not knowing anyone who has ever suffered with one. When you have been there yourself, or watched someone you love going through it, then come back and make your nasty comments…nice article, by the way
Thanks for the comeback comment. I totally agree.
Sure, all the issues I have with trust, and opening up to people. That has nothing to do with being tormented all through school, I’m just making up that I have psychological problems.
People like that make me sick, probably a scientologist.
Sure it make smore since to believe a man, that is recorded as saying the best way he could think of to get rich was start a fake religion.
I totally agree with Ryan and @crapProcessor.
I have an uncle with skitzophrenia, and a cousin with bipolar disorder, and I think I might have some sort of disorder myself as I get irritated for no reason at all, I tear up my room and hurt myself if I feel extremely guilty.. oh, and that incident in the bathroom where my imagination felt more real than the bathroom… I’m just making that all up. Riiight. It just makes me sick when I hear the stories of things my uncle has done, and look up the books he’s written, and alternately get told mental illnesses don’t exist. It is not normal to run through the woods, totally shaven, and naked. Twice.
And Ryan, I still am in school and I’ve been tormented through all the school I’ve experienced as well. Same problems with the trust thing.
There’s a fascinating film on psychotherapy from the sixties that I recommend:
“Three Approaches to Psychotherapy: Gloria”
http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/94118
The client “Gloria” has a session with 3 different psychotherapists, each using a very different type of therapy that they founded. The therapists are a who’s who of therapy: Carl Rogers (client-centered, humanist); Fritz Perls (Gestalt); and Albert Ellis (Rational Emotive Therapy).
The film also provides a kind of test of one’s own personality. I saw this film in a psychology class and afterwards the instructor asked the class which therapist they thought would be the most helpful to Gloria if she chose to do therapy with him. The instructor and class overwhelmingly thought Ellis would be best! I couldn’t stand Ellis and thought he would not be helpful to Gloria at all. (He would hardly even let her speak. I remember thinking, “this is therapy? let her speak, a**hole!) LOL.
Anyway, if you’re interested in psychology and psychotherapy, this classic film is not to be missed.
Excellent videos! Amazing! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Century of the self.
I agree with @Tangi. 3-Approaches is not to be missed if ones interests in psychology touch on the therapeutic side. It is pretty much standard viewing fare in all licensed therapeutic programs. Should easily be in this top 10
Thank you for this wonderful videos. I’ve need this one on my research regarding disorders. It really helps me a lot.
I really appreciated it on sharing this additional information for me to know and learn.
Thanks, instead of googling forever i found everything in this post!
The gamete that these videos cover is quite fascinating. The collection of depression, disorder, recovery from a stroke, too much consumer choice, mental illness in prison, impulse control, judgment, delusion, reaction to threats all cover a myriad of human involvement and touches most of us in some way or another. The clear evidence of the power of video to communicate and cross boundaries is proven in and by this list of videos.
Just a quick note, the 1971 video is a broken link. It’s great to see more TED videos being shared around. I am a huge fan of TED and the ideas behind it, thanks for the links.
Thank you Sandra for this extensive collection of interesting videos. I especially like Barry Schwartz. Thanks and I look around on your site!
