Fictional Character Analysis
Purpose
In this activity, you will demonstrate your understanding of the basic theories and techniques of abnormal psychology (course learning outcome 3). The paper should be double-spaced, 12-font size, and written in APA format.
Pick a character from a favorite book (fiction) or from a favorite movie. Choose a character that you believe has a psychological disorder. Describe the character and his or her problems, using this discussion as a foundation for diagnosing the individual and planning a treatment program. Make your diagnosis using the DSM-V diagnosis classification.
Carefully take the reader through the steps you followed to decide on a diagnosis and a type of treatment (e.g., therapy, possible medication, referrals to other professionals). Describe any other recommendations you have, including assessments you would want completed to help accurately diagnose your character. Make sure you have plenty of information to support your diagnosis (i.e., clarify why the character meets the criteria according to the DSM-V).
