| Movie List - Personality Disorders |
| All About Eve | Favorite |
| Genre: | Drama | Year: | 1950 | Rating: | NR-PG |
| Actors: | Bette Davis, Ann Baxter, George Sanders |
| Topics: | Personality Disorder, Marital Conflict |
| Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Writing and more. A |
| classic movie. Pay close attention to Eve through the film. Also, what about Margo? Realistic at |
| end? If she were in treatment in the midst of her turmoil, how would you have treated her? |
| An Angel at My Table | Favorite |
| Genre: | Drama | Year: | 1990 | Rating: | R |
| Actors: | Kerry Fox, Alexia Keogh, Karen Fergusson |
| Topics: | Treatment, Personality Disorder, Depression |
| Autobiography of a New Zealand poet who was misdiagnosed as schizophrenic and spent 8 years |
| in a mental hospital. Disturbing portrayals of treatment at the time - ECT, start of leucotomies. |
| Consider her personality issues - Avoidant? Social Phobia? Another case where art, in this case |
| writing, allows her to tolerate the traumas of her life. |
| Anywhere But Here |
| Genre: | Drama | Year: | 1999 | Rating: | PG-13 |
| Actors: | Susan Sarandon, Natalie Portman, Hart Bochner |
| Topics: | Personality Disorder |
| I saw this film on an airplane - not outstanding, but I didn't take off my headphones! Susan |
| Sarandon portrays a mother "who knows best" with a teenage daughter "who knows better" as |
| they move from a small town to Beverly Hills. The mother clearly has a mixed personality picture |
| - histrionic, dependent, borderline? |
| As Good As It Gets | Favorite |
| Genre: | Drama/Comedy | Year: | 1997 | Rating: | PG-13 |
| Actors: | Jack Nicholson, Greg Kinnear, Helen Hunt |

| Academy Award winner for Best Actor and Best Actress. Jack Nicholson with Obsessive- |
| Compulsive Disorder, as well as plenty of Axis II. Really great movie. |
