Assessment of the mute and stuporose patient. Parts 1 and 2.

A film made by the University of Birmingham Television Unit by the Association of University Teachers of Psychiatry. The programme is a combination of re-enacted case studies with two psychiatrists showing how they would go about treating a mute and stuporose patient - in between the re-enactment, they speak directly to the camera about what they are doing. In the first part they discuss a patient who has presented as mute at a hospital A&E department, then go on to examine her and make an initial assessment. In the second part they pull their original assessment to pieces and re-assess their findings.
