L’incursion de l’onf dans la thérapie psychiatrique : genèse, réalisation et pérennité de la série <i>Mental Mechanisms</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Mental Mechanisms series, produced by the National Film Board of Canada at the end of the 1940s, came to be at a particularly effervescent conjuncture in Canadian psychiatry: its institutional opening to research, teaching, and clinical work. Born in large part thanks to the desire of psychiatrists to introduce first still and then moving images to their experiments in group therapy, it quickly found a “big audience” via the NFB’s circuits of community distribution. It was first a therapeutic, but then became an educational, training, prevention, and public health tool. If historical studies of the NFB’s productions have basically brought to the fore the series’ “community life,” this bit of large-scale distribution so important to the NFB of the period, the series nevertheless continues to have a kind of “therapeutic existence.” By returning to the NFB archives, this article discusses the series’ initial, basically therapeutic raisons d’être in the context of its emergence as a therapeutic application in psychiatry. The article also seeks to place the series in its own specific context: within a history of therapeutic projection.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
