__**Using Film to Learn (and Teach) Psychological Disorders**__ In each of the modules we have studied I have included the trailers for films which address the topic being studied. These are just a sample of the films which deal in some way with the field of psychology. Films, like novels, help us understand and develop a deeper appreciation of psychological disorders or challenges. Working on your own (or with another student) you are to select a film, watch it and explain the condition portrayed in the film, how it is treated in the film and/or how it should be treated (if not done so correctly in the film). You are to create a wikilink from your class (see the left margin). On that link the following must be done: //Agnes of God (1985)// //Alligator Shoes (1982)// //At Close Range (1986)// //Beyond Reason (1985)// //Benny and Joon (1993)// //The Deer Hunter (1978)// //The Dream Team (1989)// //Frances (1982)// //I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1977)// //Jackknife (1989)// //King of Hearts (1966)// //Nuts (1987)// //One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)// //Rain Man (1988)// //Silence of the Lambs (1991)// //Sybil (1976)// //Three Faces of Eve (1957)// //Proof (2005)// //Capote (2005)// //Prime (2005)// //Mr. Jones (1993)// //Fisher King (1991)// //Shattered Mind (1996)// //Beaches (1988)// //Unstrung Heroes (1995)// //Reign Over Me (2007)// Use of class time /5 Reason for grade: Depth of work done /15 Reason for grade: What I learned /5 Reason for grade: Wikispace's attractiveness /5 Reason for grade: Total /30
