Lawyers aren't the only professionals who can find fault with the way popular culture portrays them or issues and ideas drawn from their work, as we know. Still, we watch TV and film, and enjoy novels.

From Mental Floss, a short discussion of dissociative identity disorder (DID), how pop culture portrays it, and how it does so incorrectly.

More about pop culture and psychology (drawn from The X-Files) here, from Lawrence Rubin, for Psychology Today.

Peter Romans discusses psychological issues depicted in the show M.A.S.H. here.

Melanie Tannenbaum surveys a number of issues depicted in various shows here, for the blog PsySociety.
