Jo's story: "I'm disgusting"

[mmamidget]

Funny. To think, in the middle ages she would have been told she is possed by deamons, and given a long brutle exercism. Now were told god is dead and deamons don't exist. Wonder what the next step will be?

Why is the acting so terrible?

[psychiatryteacher]

An actor. All the videos posted are using role players to portray the patient and real psychiatrists interview them

[superluser]

@psychiatryteacher From what your site says, the scenarios are fictional as well. So these are not based off of interviews, right?

(I guess I got a bit confused when in one of the videos, the psychiatrist thanks the actor for agreeing to the videos--I would have expected that that was part of a real interview, or at least a real transcript)

[psychiatryteacher]

@superluser We use scenarios that are culled from real cases but changed so that they are not identifiable. Most are combinations of elements of a number of cases.

The psychiatrist thanks the 'patient' so that is as close to a real experience as possible. We aim to simulate reality.

Thanks for your feedback.

@psychiatryteacher well where can i see the real thing?

[LaBellaa1984]

acted or real person?

[LaBellaa1984]

@krstcmjns role play i found out!

[psychiatryteacher]

@krstcmjns @LaBellaa1984 This is a role player but she is role playing the experience of a real patient

[psychiatryteacher]

@krstcmjns The concepts of 'sanity' and 'insanity' have little utility. Ilness is a better concept and definitions have varied over time. There's no neat answer. What you see here is good acting.
