Analyse This

Dr Sanger and Dave, from the podcast 3Ds Character Assassination discuss the film Joker with Dr Boo. Dr Sanger is a Clinical Psychologist and Dave is an actor. Together we dissect, formulate, and analyse the film. As much a sociological as a psychological discussion, we talk about the influences on mental health, and ask - what is the Jokers final joke ?

Dr Kat and Dr Boo discuss Inside Out - do two clinical psychologists think that it accurately depicts how our emotions and brains work?

Dr Josephine Perry, Sports and Exercise Psychologist and Dr Boo, Clinical Psychologist, talk about running, marathons and the films Run Fatboy Run and Brittany Runs a Marathon.

How can psychology help us run? What do these films get right and get wrong? Do they represent runners from a practical and a psychological perspective? And what tips can Dr Boo get for her Marathon training?!
