Suggested length: 2,000 words. You will have to prepare a detailed psychological assessment of a character from a motion picture. You are free to choose any current or classical film for this paper. However, the ground rule is that the movie must be in English and I (your professor) should have access to this movie, if necessary (which means it is in circulation). In your paper, you have to argue that the individual (the main character)?4chosen for the assessment has symptoms of a psychological disorder. Describe the symptoms and make your psychological diagnosis. These are the steps that you are strongly recommended to take while you are working on the paper. If you do not follow these steps, you do not earn credit. No identical or "matching” papers are accepted. Step 1. Select a movie and a character from it. It should be a major role, not a brief appearance. If you have difficulties deciding about the film, talk to me (your professor). Step 2. Briefly (use just a few lines) describe the movie's plot and the character's role in the movie. Use your own words, do not copy and paste reviews easily available online. I “google” your work an if I find plagiarism, I do not accept the paper (50-90 words; 5 points). Step 3. Describe the character's symptoms: behavioral, emotional, and cognitive. Here at this stage you have to persuade the reader that these symptoms are psychopathological. When do they appear? Under what circumstances? How often? How are they expressed? Turn to your lecture notes or the textbook to determine which human activities are considered "normal" and "abnormal.” (400-500 words; 5 points) Step 4. Conduct a multi-axial assessment of the character. (Refer to DSM- IV, see the links below). Use all the five axes to describe the symptoms. Follow the additional instructions given in class. Use the textbook for reference. (400-500 words; 10 points) Step 5. Make a conclusion. How severe the symptoms are? What would be an outcome if the symptoms were untreated? What kind of treatment would you recommend? Did you have any doubts about whether your character was actually ill?
