Compliance: A New Psychotherapy for Bipolar Disorder Reading and Interview: Carrie Fisher, actress and author, with a reading from The Best Awful Carrie
Fisher Carrie Fisher is an acclaimed writer, actress,
and born Hollywood insider. In recent years she has raised public
awareness of mental illness and its treatment by speaking publicly
about her long struggle to acknowledge and find treatment for
bipolar disorder, which she says nearly took her life. The daughter
of actress Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher, Carrie Fisher
made her screen debut at age 17 in Shampoo, which she followed
up with roles in movies including Star Wars (Princess Leia Organa),
Hannah and Her Sisters, and When Harry Met Sally. Her darkly
funny novels include the semi-autobiographical Postcards from
the Edge, which was made into a movie starring Meryl Streep,
and, hot off the press, The Best Awful.

Lichtenstein Creative Media The work of the company and its president, Bill Lichtenstein, have been honored with a George Foster Peabody Award – television and radio’s highest honor – as well as more than sixty major broadcast and health journalism awards. LCM produces The Infinite Mind, a national, weekly public radio series focusing on all aspects of mental health, neuroscience, and advances in treatment. LCM also produced West 47th Street, an award-winning documentary film that follows four people with mental illness over three years. More than three million viewers watched its broadcast premiere in August, 2003 on PBS’s acclaimed series, P.O.V. The film’s powerful message and surprising ending led Newsweek to call the film “must see” and the Washington Post to hail it as “remarkable.” The resulting outreach effort was among P.O.V ’s most successful in engaging the public, involving 100 community screenings nationwide, including one at Yale University, which showed the film to medical staff and students at Grand Rounds. Among its many honors, the film won Best Documentary at the Atlanta Film Festival and Audience Award at the D.C. Independent Film Festival. LCM is currently producing Juveniles in Crisis, a four-part public television series examining the interconnections between the juvenile justice, juvenile mental health, foster care and education systems. Hepatitis C: The Stealth Epidemic will explore the spread of this lethal virus and failure to respond to the public health crisis. Both productions will be featured on PBS’s Year of Global Health initiative in 2005.
