Theme: Disturbed Psychology

The theme Disturbed Psychology refers to portraits of abnormal psychology as depicted in genre cinema. This is separate from the theme Films About Psychos and Serial Killers, which are so numerous they have been propagated to their own topic.

Depictions of Disturbed Psychology fall into roughly three categories:-

  • Depictions of Madness – works concerned with portraits of the mentally ill
  • Subjective Portraits of Mental Illness – works that come from the point-of-view of a mentally ill person and show their distorted view of the world
  • Ambiguously Fantastic Portraits of Mental Illness – works in which we cannot be certain that the appearance of fantastical elements is due to the protagonist’s mental health issues.

For more detail and an overview of the genre see the Theme Essay Films About Disturbed Psychology
