“Abnormal Psychology in the Movies
One of the most visible places to find examples of abnormal psychology is in movies.
This assignment will involve watching a relatively recent film that depicts some form of psychopathology. In this assignment, critically review the films portrayal of the mental disorder noting the accuracy with which it is presented given your knowledge of the disorders etiology (explain 2 probably causes for the disorder), clinical presentation, prognosis, and treatment (where applicable). Very importantly, I would like you to consider the positive and negative messages the movie gives the public about people with this disorder, as well as the mental health profession in general.
Here is a list of some you may pick from
Infinitely Polar Bear
Black Swan
As Good As it Gets
Prozac Nation
Girl Interrupted
Temple Grandin
Silver Linings Playbook
The Aviator
Beautiful Mind
Mad World
