To this end, an active teaching approach has been chosen, using as primary support the clinical case in the commercial film “A Beautiful Mind”. This was implemented during the 2012-13 term, within the subject “Psychiatric Nursing and Mental Health”, in the 3rd year of the Nursing Degree, at the Universidad del País Vasco.Results show that the film “A Beautiful Mind” is a satisfactory tool for acquiring the above mentioned abilities, and at the same time it is a learning method very well accepted by students. When the process was completed, 100% of participants claimed that they would repeat the methodology. The experience obtained must be used as an incentive to continue studying in depth those possibilities offered by activemethods.
