Topic: Psychopathology Goes to Movies

Catalog description

The intended purpose of this course is to teach through Films, how the various psychopathologies might play themselves out in an approximation of real-life, real world situations of which these films are a simulacrum. John Milton, in Paradise Lost tells us that we must “strike the visual nerve, for we have much to see”. So, too, in this course there is much to learn by seeing with the mind’s eye through well-chosen films the Psychopathology set forth in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association.
