Movie Angelina Jolie borderline personality disorder in movie Girl interrupted

What I would like you to do would be to choose one character in the movie, probably the protagonist (but you may choose another character if the character is fully developed), to analyze. Using your textbook as a source, identify what diagnosis your character might receive if evaluated in a psychiatric setting. Identify the symptoms the individual shows, and describe your reasoning as to why you think he/she would get that diagnosis. Does the diagnosis describe the character adequately? What do you find particularly interesting about the character? Is the person well developed in the film? What important characteristics of the person does the diagnosis miss? You should describe important concepts relative to Psychopathologies that appear in the film as well as Psychiatric Nursing.

Writing the paper:

1. Introduction

Provide a brief statement of the topic of your film and a brief introduction of the diagnostic category or categories you feel describe your character.

1. Plot review

Provide a brief review of the film’s plot in general. This should focus on only the aspects of the film that a naive reader (someone who has not seen the film) would need to understand before he or she reads your analysis of how the diagnostic concepts or theories are illustrated in the movie. This need not be long; the point of this paper is to showcase your ability to understand and apply psychological concepts not to showcase your movie reviewing skills

• Development of Diagnosis

Describe the character or characters you have chosen to analyze. Describe their relevant behaviors and symptoms. Identify the DSM-V diagnosis or diagnoses you feel best fit(s) him/her/them, and show how the character(s) meet the criteria for that diagnosis. Describe why you think they do not meet any of the exclusion criteria for the diagnosis. Be creative here and engage in as much discussion of the character(s) as is relevant. Look up some other source material about the diagnosis. This can be something you find in the Misericordia Library website, or if it is really good (not just a lightweight popular article), an article from a respectable magazine or newspaper, such as Psychiatric Nursing, ANA, Scientific American, the New York Times. If in doubt about the credibility of your source, remember to search peer reviewed articles published in the last 5 years.  Describe what it says and how you believe it’s relevant to your diagnosis of your character(s). Remember that everything you cite must in your own words in your paper (use minimal direct quotes).  Please use at least 3 references.

[Note: This section will be the longest part of your paper, because it is the most important part (and will therefore count the most points). This is where you give your scientific but creative analysis of the film using what you are learning in this course.]
