Movie List - Dissociative Disorders
Don't Say a Word
Genre: Drama Year: 2001 Rating: R
Actors: Michael Douglas, Sean Bean, Brittany Murphy
Topics: Treatment, PTSD, Dissociative
The daughter of a psychiatrist is kidnapped and the abductors demand that he break through to a
catatonic girl, who holds the secret to the location of a hidden gem, in order to get his daughter
back. [Suggested by Marcia J. McKinley, Mt. St. Mary's College]
Fight Club
Genre: Drama Year: 1999 Rating: R
Actors: Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter
Topics: Dissociative, Freudian
I thought this was on the list, but Chad Loewen (Trinity Western University) pointed out that it was
missing! The film can be considered to be the personification of Edward Norton's psyche. After
you've seen it once, watch it again once you know what to look for.
Identity Favorite
Genre: Drama Year: 2003 Rating: R
Actors: John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet
Topics: Dissociative Disorder
A fast moving thriller with a major psychological twist. Another one to watch twice, much like
"Fight Club." Once you know what's going on, how accurate do you think the portrayal is? Does it
perpetuate mental health stigma?
