Doctoral Dissertation Research: The History of Film and Video in Child Psychiatric Research

这个项目将调查医学和科学从业者如何在整个20世纪和21世纪使用电影和视频。它将侧重于在儿童精神病学研究和实践中发展对电影和视听技术的历史理解。它将扩大我们对技术如何应用于幼儿心理、如何诊断婴儿的正常和病理发育以及如何治疗家庭关系问题的理解。这项研究将涉及实验室和诊所的新旧媒体。它将研究媒体的局限性以及它们为科学和医学提供的机会。它将使用儿童精神病学作为更广泛的媒体历史变化的案例研究。其目的是教育专家和普通观众关于科学和临床工具的历史背景和潜在影响。此外，该项目将调查最近出现的儿童早期精神病学分支学科。它将记录这个领域是如何被视听技术塑造的。此外，学科和技术如何影响我们对孩子的概念、对待和教育方式。这项研究将对教师、家长和政策制定者设计和实施幼儿教育实践感兴趣。该项目主要探讨运动影像在儿童精神病学研究和实践中的各种历史角色和功能。它将通过仔细阅读和从20世纪初到现在的婴儿的科学和临床电影和视频的历史背景来做到这一点。该项目将考虑到大量不同的背景（历史、学科、国家）。重点是在运动影像技术和儿童研究交叉的几个突出时期。年代的想法。它将研究使用电影的方法来观察儿童在？现实生活中的情景？心理学家和精神病学家，如Arnold Gesell和Kurt Lewin在20世纪20年代到40年代的研究。此外，依恋理论是最具影响力的心理学理论之一，它的发展和传播将通过电影这一媒介在二战后的时代进行分析。它还将讨论视频技术在过去四十年中作为早期儿童精神病学的科学和临床工具的兴起。研究人员将通过档案研究调查过去的做法，并通过口述历史访谈和参与观察在儿童早期精神病学门诊诊所调查最近的方法。总的来说，该项目的目的是促进更好地了解视觉技术在过去和现在的科学知识和儿童心理医疗方面的作用。

This project will investigates how medical and scientific practitioners have employed film and video, throughout the 20th and 21st century. It will focus on developing a historical understanding of cinematic and audiovisual technologies in child psychiatric research and practice. It will broaden our understanding of how technologies have been used in the psychology of young children, to diagnose normal and pathological development in infants, and to treat relationship problems within families. The study will engage with old and new media in laboratories and clinics. It will study the limits of the media and the opportunities that they offer to science and medicine. It will use child psychiatry as a case study of broader media-historical changes. The aims is to educate expert and lay audiences about the historical backgrounds and potential implications of scientific and clinical tools. In addition, the project will investigate the emergence of the recent sub-discipline of early childhood psychiatry. It will document how this field shaped and was shaped by audiovisual technologies. As well as, how both the discipline and the technologies have contributed to the ways we conceptualize, treat, and educate our kids. The research will be of interest to teachers, parents, and policy makers for designing and implementing educational practices for young children. The project primarily approaches the various historical roles and functions of moving images in child psychiatric research and practice. It will do this through a close reading and historical contextualization of scientific and clinical films and videos of infants from the early 20th century to the present. The project will take into account a large number of different contexts (historical, disciplinary, national). The focus is on several salient periods at the intersection of moving image technologies and the study of the child?s mind. It will study the use of cinematic methods for the observation of children in ?real life situations? by psychologists and psychiatrists such as Arnold Gesell and Kurt Lewin in the 1920s to 40s. In addition the development and propagation of one of the most influential psychological theories, attachment theory will be analyzed through the medium of film in the era Post-World War II. It will also address the rise of video technologies as both scientific and clinical tools in early childhood psychiatry over the last forty years. The researchers will inquire into past practices through archival study and recent approaches through oral history interviews and participant observation in an outpatient clinic for early childhood psychiatry. Overall, the project aims at contributing to a better understanding of the role of visual technologies in the past and present of scientific knowledge and medical treatment of the mind of the child.
