1. **Choose a Psychological Disorder**: The first step is to choose a psychological disorder from the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition). This manual is widely used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental conditions. It includes descriptions, symptoms, and other criteria necessary for diagnosing mental disorders. Choose a disorder that interests you and that you’d like to learn more about. 2. **Research the Disorder**: Once you’ve chosen a disorder, start researching it. Understand its symptoms, causes, treatments, and how it affects a person’s daily life. Use reliable sources like academic journals, textbooks, or trusted online resources. 3. **Choose a Movie**: After you’ve done your research, choose a movie that accurately portrays the disorder you’ve chosen. The movie doesn’t necessarily have to focus on the disorder, but the disorder should be a significant part of the plot or a main character’s development. 4. **Analyze the Movie**: Watch the movie with your chosen disorder in mind. Take notes on how the disorder is portrayed. Does the character show the symptoms you’ve researched? Is the disorder portrayed accurately and realistically, or is it sensationalized? 5. **Prepare Your Presentation**: Now that you’ve done your research and watched your movie, it’s time to prepare your presentation. Include an overview of the disorder, a summary of the movie, and your analysis of the portrayal of the disorder in the movie. Make sure to provide examples from the movie to support your analysis. 6. **Present Your Findings**: Finally, present your findings to your class. Be prepared to answer questions and engage in a discussion about the movie and the disorder. Remember, the goal of this project is to deepen your understanding of psychological disorders and to critically analyze how they’re portrayed in popular media. Good luck!
