Introduction to Psychology
Assignment:
This week you will complete your “Psychological Disorders and the Movies” paper. For this assignment, you will watch one of the movies listed below and discuss the main characters and/or plot line in terms of psychological disorders and/or treatment (Some of the movies portray several characters struggling with a disorder; you need to focus only on the one that most interests you).
In your analysis paper, you must analyze the movie and create a cohesive response that addresses the following questions (do not answer the questions in numerical order, create a paper that addresses all the questions):
What psychological disorder was illustrated in this film? Did the person meet the criteria for “abnormal” in this portrayal?
What are the typical symptoms and behaviors of an individual with this disorder?
What symptoms of mental illness did you see in the movie? After considering typical symptoms and behaviors for this disorder, determine the extent to which you believe this was a realistic portrayal of this disorder.
Were any causal factors for the character’s disorder suggested in the film? If so, which ones?
What types of treatment, if any, did the person in the film receive? Provide specific examples. Based on what you’ve learned, is this form typical for individuals with this disorder? Why or why not?
What impact did the person’s disorder have on others in his/her life? Do you think the impact was realistically portrayed? Why or why not?
