Abstract
Shutter Island is a film depicting several of the many facets of Abnormal Psychology as defined and studied over the course of this term. Several of the concepts discussed in our lectures and demonstrated during our classroom time were evident and vividly depicted in the film including personality disorders past and present; stress and anxiety disorders; psychosis, and mood disorders. There were others subtly displayed in the film however, these listed were of primary focus and coincidence most closely with our study this term. While focusing more on the abnormal, Shutter Island also shares common ground with the film A Beautiful Mind.
Analysis of Shutter Island
Shutter Island revolves around the main character, Teddy Daniels, and his adjustment to, or failure to adjust to and cope successfully with several traumatic life events. .Family is the heart and soul of every community. Most parents love their children, try to teach them right from wrong, and hope they grow up to be happy, healthy, and productive citizens. I believe that most individuals value family and what it adds to their lives daily whether it's good or bad. And few will argue that parenting can be a tough but rewarding responsibility as each generation faces its own unique challenges. But like many people, I wonder if we are fast becoming a world that no longer appreciates good old-fashioned morals and values, two fundamental elements in building strong family-centered communities.
Baby boomers may easily recall when most mothers stayed at home and fathers went off to work. This meant that mother was home when you returned from school; she was there when you scraped your knees; she was there when other children visited, or when you had a tough homework problem to solve. However, many children today are reared in single-parent
