HONR 202-001 Abnormal Psychology in Film and Memoir (3,0)

This is an Honors Seminar which will examine how abnormal psychology and treatment is portrayed in film and personal memoir. We will watch a new film each week which addresses a psychological topic. Areas will include abnormal psychology, psychotherapy, and family dynamics.  We will critically analyze films in terms of accuracy in depicting specific conditions as well as how treatment is portrayed.  The film coverage of mental illness will be complemented by reading first-person accounts of various conditions and their treatment.
