This article examines the portrayals and myths of child and adolescent psychiatry relevant to the current practitioner. Although behavioral and emotional problems abound onscreen, the formal diagnosis of youth mental illness is uneven and rare. Common myths of brainwashing, incarceration, parent blame, parent supplantation, violence, and evil are explored, with current commercial examples of each. The impact of these portrayals on young patients, peers, parents, and the public at large are examined through the prevalence of different stereotypes across different genres more likely viewed by different ages. Positive and negative depictions of illness and treatment are identified for education and awareness, and the authors provide advice for using Hollywood films successfully as a helpful intervention in the mental health treatment of children and adolescents.
本文探讨了与当前从业者相关的儿童和青少年精神病学的描绘及误区。尽管屏幕上行为和情绪问题比比皆是，但青少年精神疾病的正式诊断并不一致且很少见。文中探讨了洗脑、监禁、指责父母、取代父母、暴力和邪恶等常见误区，并列举了当前的商业实例。通过不同类型影片中不同刻板印象在不同年龄段人群中更可能出现的情况，研究了这些描绘对年轻患者、同龄人、父母及广大公众的影响。文中识别了疾病和治疗的正面与负面描绘，以促进教育和提高认识，作者还提供了如何成功利用好莱坞电影作为对儿童和青少年心理健康治疗的有益干预措施的建议。
