#9 - Girl, Interupted


Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, Susanna Kaysen (Winona Ryder) gets sent to a mental institution for a short stay. Instead, Susanna spends the next year avoiding her fears, descending into the skewed world of people who belong on the inside -- including the seductive, dangerous Lisa (Oscar winner Angelina Jolie). If Susanna wants independence, she must face her fears. An evocative drama based on a true story.


Relation to PSY-201: Winona Ryder has depression and personality disorder. (Chapter 12, Psychological Disorders)Angelina Jolie is a sociopath. And Brittany Murphy suffers from anorexia.(Chapter 8, Motivation and Emotion)
