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和21世纪使用电影和录像。它将侧重于发展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。它将拓宽我们对技术如何用于幼儿心理学的理解，诊断婴儿的正常和病理发育，以及治疗家庭关系问题。这项研究将在实验室和诊所使用新旧媒体。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外行观众的历史背景和科学和临床工具的潜在影响。此外，该项目将调查最近出现的幼儿精神病学分支学科。它将记录这个领域是如何形成的，以及视听技术是如何形成的。以及，学科和技术如何有助于我们概念化的方式，对待，和教育我们的孩子。这项研究将对教师、家长和政策制定者感兴趣，以便为幼儿设计和实施教育实践。该项目主要探讨儿童精神病学研究和实践中移动图像的各种历史角色和功能。它将通过一个密切的阅读和历史背景下的科学和临床电影和录像的婴儿从20世纪初世纪到现在。该项目将考虑到大量不同的背景（历史，学科，国家）。重点是在几个突出的时期在运动图像技术和儿童的研究的交叉点？s mind.它将研究使用电影的方法来观察儿童在？真实的生活情况？由心理学家和精神病学家如阿诺德·格塞尔和库尔特·卢因在20世纪20年代到40年代提出。此外，最有影响力的心理学理论之一，依恋理论的发展和传播将通过电影的媒介在二战后的时代进行分析。它还将解决视频技术的崛起，作为科学和临床工具，在幼儿精神病学在过去的四十年。研究人员将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在门诊儿童早期精神病学调查过去的做法。总的来说，该项目旨在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治疗中的作用。

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.
