The mini-paper will involve watching a relatively recent (released 1984 or later) popular film that depicts some form of psychopathology. In your paper, I would like you to provide a comprehensive diagnosis of the character with the disorder and discuss that individual’s symptoms relative to the diagnostic criteria. Please also provide and discuss at least two theories that could account for how this individual developed the disorder. 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.
You will then choose one article published in a scientific, peer-reviewed journal of which the focus is on the diagnosis or etiology of the particular form of psychopathology or disorder portrayed in the movie. I would like you to provide a detailed review of the journal article, and discuss how the findings of that article may relate (or not) to the character in the movie. You’re also encouraged to integrate information from your text (Abnormal Psychology (8th ed). Oltmanns & Emery,2015)
