Watch it through once without taking notes. The second time, take notes on the main character identifying behaviors and symptoms that meet DSM V – TR criteria for addiction and any other diagnosis.
Step two: The first run through the movie, write down your best guess about what the main character’s diagnosis is from their behavior. Don’t read any books or look up any information. What does your intuition tell you about what is happening?
Step three: The second run through of the movie do the following (Make sure to fully answer each question with specifics not generalizations):
Describe any traumatic circumstances revealed which may impact trauma-informed care for the main character.
