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.
