Co-Existing Disorders
This should be a film focused on dual diagnosis. Please feel free to choose any movie you think will meet the criteria. Some suggestions are:
• Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolff?
• The Days of Wine and Roses.
• Leaving Las Vegas.
• Running with Scissors.
Share what you perceive to be the dual diagnosis (co-occurring disorders) of the protagonist in the film. What was the presenting problem in the movie? Was it addressed by any form of treatment? If you met a client like the one in the film, how would you proceed?
