In your paper, you should give a brief description of the character. Then, you should answer the following:
Identify the diagnosis that you would make of the character. (25 points)
– You should back up your diagnosis with the relevant symptoms displayed by the character (in other words, explain why did you make the diagnosis that you did). Refer to the movie to illustrate the symptoms that the character demonstrates.
– Discuss all the possible symptoms of the disorder; does the client show all the possible symptoms, or only some of the possible symptoms of the disorder?
You should summarize any possible origins of the disorder. (25 points)
– Is it likely to be genetic? Is it likely to be caused by stress, or by exposure to environmental stressors?
– What origins are clear from the movie, and what origins would you speculate, given what you know of the disorder?
Be sure to discuss the expected prognosis for the disorder. (25 points)
– What prognosis do you see in the movie (e.g., does the person commit suicide? Does the person seem to recover fully?)
– What prognosis is reasonable, based on your textbook or research on the disorder? The movie might not be realistic; be sure that you describe a realistic prognosis, as well as the movie’s outcome.
Finally, you should look at the chapter on treatment of psychological disorders to determine how you would provide therapy for your client. (25 points)
– What sort of therapy would you recommend, based on what you feel would be the most effective?
– What sort of therapy (if any) is the character receiving in the movie?
– Would you expect the character to respond well to the recommended therapy? Why or why not? You should refer to your textbook to answer this question.
Be sure that you answer all of the above questions in your paper. I expect that it will take you 4-5 pages to answer all of the questions. The best papers will show insight into the disorder, as well as insight into how the disorder must be portrayed for the movie audience to understand and for the story to move forward.
