Abstract
The primary purpose of this article is to illustrate how Psyfeld™, a didactic used to review mental disorders through discussion of the fictional characters depicted in Larry David’s situational comedy, Seinfeld, inspires students to critically think and analyze fictional case examples depicted in popular culture. As a follow-up to the article, “Psy-feld: An Innovative Didactic Using the TV Show Seinfeld to Teach Delusional Disorder Subtypes” [1], our current article captures the germane points from our discussion that compares The Suicide [2] to Shakespeare’s Macbeth [3].Article Details
