Psychopathology in a Galaxy Far, Far Away: the Use of Star Wars' Dark Side in Teaching.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Star Wars is well known, timeless, universal, and incorporated into shared culture. Trainees have grown up with the movies, and based on their enduring popularity, attending psychiatrists are likely to have seen them too. This article highlights psychopathology from the Dark Side of Star Wars films which can be used in teaching. These include as follows: borderline and narcissistic personality traits, psychopathy, PTSD, partner violence risk, developmental stages, and of course Oedipal conflicts.

Pulmonary pathophysiology in another galaxy.
Case studies from popular culture have previously been reported to be helpful teaching tools for conveying and integrating complex physiological principles.1 A most enigmatic case that has puzzled some anesthesiologists and respiratory physiologists for decades is Darth Vader, “the chosen one” from the Star Wars franchise; his continuous need for a whole-body armored suit that supports his brea...
متن کاملPredictions for Herschel from -cold dark matter: unveiling the cosmic star formation history
We use a model for the evolution of galaxies in the far-infrared (far-IR) based on the -cold dark matter cosmology to make detailed predictions for the upcoming cosmological surveys with the Herschel Space Observatory. We use the combined GALFORM semi-analytical galaxy formation model and GRASIL spectrophotometric code to compute galaxy spectral energy distribution (SEDs) including the reproces...
متن کاملStellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملSetting the Stage: Ultraluminous Galaxies in a Cosmologicalcontext
I will try to put the ultraluminous galaxy phenomenon into a broad cosmological context. Viewed from this perspective, the significance of ultraluminous galaxies and the ‘starburst vs. monster’ debate becomes clear. Ultraluminous galaxies are fascinating in their own right, allow detailed study of the processes by which massive spheroids were built and the IGM was heated and polluted, and resem...
متن کاملDark Matter in Galaxies: Observational overview
I review the observational side of the present state of the debate about the dark matter in galaxies, with emphasis on the core/cusp problem in low surface brightness galaxies, and the question of maximum / sub-maximum disks in spiral galaxies. Some remarks are made about the dwarf spheroidals around the Milky Way, and about elliptical galaxies.
