Psychology Parasite Movie Psychoanalysis Question

 

The Case-Study Research Paper, due in Module 14, will be based on Modules 1–14. You will submit a 5- to 7-page research paper (double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins) that explores psychological disorders in one of the movies listed below. Please select and view one of these films, and discuss the main characters and plot as a psychological case study. You should discuss one or two significant characters, and determine which mental disorders discussed in the textbook, module, and DSM-5 apply to them. You will determine the diagnosis, treatment, etiology, and prognosis for the character(s) you choose to analyze. Include at least eight class-sourced references and three references from your outside research on the case study/diagnoses (a total of 11 references).

For the assignment in this module, please review your chosen film case study from the list of selections above. (Remember: you will continue to work on the same film for the rest of the course). Then discuss this case in terms of the criterion set forth in the fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). In this module, please focus on the symptoms only. In subsequent modules, we will work on providing prognosis information (outlook, cure, or management of symptoms) for your film case studies.

Purpose

  • To write the section of your Case-Study Research Paper focusing on the symptoms
  • To demonstrate knowledge of general psychology and become acquainted with anxiety disorders

Here’s the comment for the essay-

Great work this module diagnosing the characters in “Parasite,”! Excellent analysis of their multiple, respective diagnoses. Your breakdown of these diagnoses’ symptom sets, and how they correlate with each of their cases, is very well explained and cited. You’ve made your case clear for why you believe they should be diagnosed and the risks of their behavior. I look forward to reading more on how you plan to treat their complex case in the upcoming modules.

For future reference, I want to remind you that the “prognosis” section of your case study should describe the future of the patient with a particular diagnosis. Your prognosis may have contingencies, meaning, you may describe how depending on the patient’s access and compliance to particular therapeutic interventions, it may influence how you understand and/or predict the daily, long-term impact of this diagnosis, on a patient. I hope this helps clarify this aspect of the case study paper, please email me if you’ve any further questions.
