Media often portrays mental health issues but, as good psychologists, you need to examine how accurate those portrayals are in the media, thinking about the far-reaching consequences of those portrayals. For this project, you will need to view a movie that includes at least one character with a mental illness.
This project needs to include the following:
Title Page
Paper :(minimum of 3 pages not including the title page or reference section)
SYNOPSIS: At least a half-page objective summary of the movie should be included in your paper. This is not an opinion section—watch pronoun usage – it is simply an overview of the movie.
Please use your own thoughts and NOT an outside source. If an outside source is used, it must be cited.
DIAGNOSIS and JUSTIFICATION: This section should be about one page in length, looking specifically at the character’s behavior(s), symptom(s), cognition(s), etc. You need to provide one DSM5-TR diagnosis for your character. Remember, co-morbidity could occur and you need to acknowledge this concept, but are not responsible for analyzing the diagnostic criteria for more than 1 diagnosis. Beyond stating the DSM 5TR diagnosis, you will need to justify it by indicating the diagnostic criteria the character meets and what behaviors demonstrate such criteria.
You will need to cite the DSM-5 TR to support your claims!!
CRITIQUE: You will write a critique of the movie, focusing on how mental illness is portrayed.
Ideas: Does the movie provide an accurate example of mental illness? If so, what did they get right? If not, how did they inaccurately portray the character’s mental illness? If you were directing the movie or writing the script, what would you have done differently to provide a more accurate portrayal? This section will need to be up to a page in length.
-TREATMENT: If you were a mental health professional, how would you help this character? What therapeutic approach would you take? What theoretical perspective might you use, and what techniques would you try? Would there be any medications you might recommend, or would you not want to use meds? Does this person need individual therapy, group therapy, hospitalization and inpatient treatment program, institutionalization, family therapy, incarceration or some other kind of treatment?
If the character has received treatment in the movie, what did you think of it? If the treatment was effective, why was it so? Was there anything you would have done differently if the treatment used in the movie was not as effective? This section should be one page in length.
-Reference Page: APA formatted references page – including the movie you watched and reviewed. You will also be referencing the 3 sources you used – 1 being a peer-reviewed academic research article and 1 being the DSM V – you cited throughout the paper.
