The Southern California Psychiatric Society is a local branch of the American Psychiatric Association which has developed a novel committee called the Art of Psychiatric Medicine Committee. It is composed of psychiatrists who host collaborative events focused on a professionally relevant theme and utilize a specific artistic medium. Professional artists and psychiatric group leaders collaborate in facilitating events. Each event is uniquely designed to develop and sustain the artistic skills of being a psychiatrist. This group was created built on the premise that the practice of medicine is both an art and a science, but developing and sustaining the art of what we do as psychiatrists is not supported by current models of healthcare delivery or maintenance of licensure/certification.

Art of Storytelling: The Human Experience of Being a Psychiatrist is their third and largest project. Utilizing the talents of documentary filmmaker Tim Thelen, oral historian Dr. Cora Granata, and executive producer Mindi Thelen, six psychiatrists take oral histories from twelve other Los Angeles-based psychiatrists who vary dramatically in age, practice type, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Their extremely personal and deeply moving stories reveal an unexpectedly remarkable cohesiveness of shared experiences among psychiatrists, and suggest that there may be common shared qualities and traits that Psychiatric professionals share that are completely counter to the traditional stigmas and stereotypes that the profession has suffered. The film has been screened at multiple professional meetings around the world including the American Psychiatric Association’s Annual Meeting in Atlanta, The World Psychiatric Association Congress in Berlin, and the Black Psychiatrists of America Transcultural Psychiatry Conference in New Delhi, India, and in Beirut at the 2018 Lebanese Psychiatric Association’s Annual Mental Health Day.
