Abstract:
The central goal of this thesis is to frame a widespread mode of practice amongst avant-garde filmmakers as a form of 'practical psychology,' rather than a form of artistry that masochistically rejects pleasurable aesthetic experiences - as it has been characterised by Steven Pinker and others in a cognitive context. I will suggest that, taking "sense as muse" (in Stan Brakhage's words), many avantgarde filmmakers introspectively draw creative inspiration from their own cognitive and perceptual capacities, and touch on topics explored by actual psychologists. These include narrative comprehens

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is now the dominant model in health care; its aim is to increase the use of research evidence to inform clinical decision making. Clinical practice guidelines are the predominant method by which research is distilled into practice recommendations.

The partnerships between parents and educational psychologists (EPs) have received little attention in the literature and provide one example of work practice.

In recent years, educators have increasingly been called upon to provide services to children with ADHD either through special education or through Section 504.

High rates of distress have been found in trainee clinical psychologists. Poor levels of self-care have shown to negatively impact on therapeutic effectiveness and damage to clients.
