For this assignment, you should carefully read the chapter on Psychological Diso

For this assignment, you should carefully read the chapter on Psychological Disorders. Then you should apply one of the psychological disorders you have read about to a character in a fictional movie, TV program, or book (comic book character is acceptable too) you have seen or read. You can use any disorder discussed in the chapter (please don’t choose substance abuse disorders for this paper).
You will type a one page summary of the character, to orient the reader (i.e., me) to what film/show/book you are reviewing. And then, you will then type a 3-4 page ‘analysis’ of this character using your knowledge from the chapter. Thus, the entire paper should be 4-5 pages total (not including the references page). Also, be sure to discuss why you believe the character has the disorder, the role of nature vs. nurture in this disorder’s development, AND how you think this character might be best helped. Keep in mind that I may not have seen the movie or TV show you are discussing, so please describe the character in enough depth that I will be able to understand your paper. Be creative and have fun analyzing!
Your analysis of the character should come from information from at least 5 sources. Of those 5 sources, THREE of them must be empirical journal articles. An empirical journal article reports on a study the researchers conducted. The article will have an abstract, a methods section, and a results section, so if you don’t see those headings in the article, then it’s NOT empirical. Make sure to cite your sources throughout the paper and include a references/bibliography page, or else it is plagiarism and you will receive a failing grade for the assignment.
Checklist (make sure that you include all of the following in your paper):
Decide what character and disorder you plan to discuss in your paper.
Find five sources, three of which will be empirical journal articles.
Read about this disorder from these 5 source

The info below will help you know what I am looking for when I grade your paper.

____ Paper is not thorough enough
____ Shows a lack a full understanding of the disorder
____ Could integrate more research or factual information in describing symptoms (didn’t cite enough studies)

____ Could integrate more research or factual info when discussing treatment (didn’t cite enough studies)
___ Not thorough enough in covering the “Hollywood” question; needed to show more critical thinking when answering this question.

____ Did not use enough sources (need several empirical journal articles)
