Notes

Now you're going to be a clinician! Pick out at least two specific examples of the character’s behaviors from the movie or TV show; then, using Chapter 14 in the textbook, find information that explains how the behaviors are symptomatic of any one of the following psychological disorders:A delusional disorder/schizophrenia/depression/bipolar I disorder/generalized anxiety disorder/a panic disorder (with or without agoraphobia)/agoraphobia/a specific phobia/a social phobia/obsessive-compulsive disorder/posttraumatic stress disorder/dissociative amnesia/a dissociative fugue/dissociative identity disorder/ Munchausen syndrome/Munchausen syndrome by proxy/borderline personality disorder/antisocial personality disorder.NOTE: the list above contains 22 possible disorders from which you MUST pick one for this assignment. Do NOT diagnose the character you’re writing about with anything else! There are many other psychological disorders besides the ones on the list, however, for the purposes of this assignment, you MUST pick one of the disorders from the list above.Work back and forth from the character’s behaviors to the information from Chapter 14 of your textbook, describing how the behaviors fit the characteristics of one of the psychological disorders listed above. In other words, clearly explain how, in your opinion, the behaviors fit the particular disorder with which you are diagnosing the character. (7 points)
