Kaya, M. Siyabend
International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies, v9 n4 p1328-1341 2022
Bringing real-life cases to the educational environment and presenting them to students is one of the main goals of psychology.

Since the educational materials to be offered to students on this subject are insufficient, academics and lecturers recommend that their students read case studies in psychopathology lessons or watch videos depicting certain disorders. While the use of films in both national and international literature in psychology and psychological counselling theories and practices is increasing, it is thought-provoking that there is no similar interest/attempt in reading literary works. Despite the (not)reading rates, the using literary works in students' education is overshadowed by films constitutes the main motivation of this study using literary works in students' education is overshadowed by films, which constitutes this study's main motivation.

Accordingly, Jean-Louis Fournier's book named "My daddy never killed anybody" was examined in terms of both causal factors and DSM criteria by using document analysis, which is one of the qualitative research methods, to delineate "alcohol use disorder". In conclusion, it is thought that analysing literary works in terms of psychopathology and actively discussing them in front of a class will make the teaching process more creative and permanent.
