Star Wars films are among the top box office hits of all time. The films have been popular internationally for almost 40 years. As such, both trainees and attending psychiatrists are likely to be aware of them. This article highlights a vast array of psychopathology in Star Wars films which can be useful in teaching, even when the characters are considered the "good guys". Included are as follows: histrionic, obsessive-compulsive, and dependent personality traits, perinatal psychiatric disorders, prodromal schizophrenia, pseudo-dementia, frontal lobe lesions, pathological gambling, and even malingering. As such, Star Wars has tremendous potential to teach psychiatric trainees about mental health issues.
《星球大战》系列电影一直都是票房最高的影片之一。这些电影在全球范围内流行了近40年。因此,无论是实习医生还是主治精神科医生都很可能对其有所了解。本文着重介绍了《星球大战》系列电影中大量的精神病理学内容,即便其中的角色被视为“好人”,这些内容在教学中也会很有用。包括以下方面:表演型、强迫型和依赖型人格特质、围产期精神障碍、精神分裂症前驱期、假性痴呆、额叶病变、病态赌博,甚至诈病。因此,《星球大战》在向精神科实习医生传授心理健康问题方面具有巨大潜力。
