Join us on Facebook Live for a discussion of Robert Mullan’s film Mad to Be Normal (2017).
Psychology Film Club explores depictions of psychology, psychiatry, and mental health in pop culture, gathering a panel of experts from the field to discuss popular films. On Thursday, April 22nd at 7:00pm ET, we’ll be discussing the film Mad to Be Normal on Facebook Live. The film follows R. D. Laing, a Scottish psychiatrist associated with the anti-psychiatry movement and known for his unconventional methods. We will be covering the film’s portrayal of Laing and his legacy within the psychiatric and psychological fields.
Mad to Be Normal is currently available to stream for free via Amazon Prime (with subscription), Tubi, and Vudu, and to rent or purchase via Youtube and Google Play.
