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。它将侧重于发展对儿童精神病学研究和实践中的电影和视听技术的历史理解。它将扩大我们对技术如何用于幼儿心理、诊断婴儿正常和病理发育以及治疗家庭关系问题的理解。这项研究将在实验室和诊所与新旧媒体接触。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非专业观众有关科学和临床工具的历史背景和潜在影响。此外，该项目还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形成的，以及视听技术是如何塑造的。以及纪律和技术如何帮助我们概念化、对待和教育我们的孩子。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图像在儿童精神病学研究和实践中的各种历史角色和功能。它将通过仔细阅读从20世纪初到现在的婴儿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)。重点是在运动图像技术和儿童研究的交汇点上的几个突出的时期--S的头脑。它将研究如何使用电影的方法来观察现实生活中的儿童？由心理学家和精神病学家阿诺德·格塞尔和库尔特·勒文在20世纪20年代至40年代提出。除了最有影响力的心理学理论之一的发展和传播，依恋理论将在第二次世界大战后通过电影媒介进行分析。它还将讨论过去40年来视频技术作为儿童早期精神病学科学和临床工具的兴起。研究人员将在一家儿童早期精神病学门诊通过档案研究和最近的方法，通过口述历史访谈和参与者观察来探讨过去的做法。总体而言，该项目旨在帮助更好地了解视觉技术在过去和现在对儿童心理的科学知识和医学治疗的作用。

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.
