Psychology Independent Study
You will be diagnosing “Buffalo Bill” and Clarice Sterling from
the film Silence of the Lambs. In your
diagnosis of Buffalo Bill begin with the following;Buffalo Bill is not transsexual he is highly psychopathic with
anti-social personality disorder and various delusional disorders, which result
in violent behavior. What treatment
would you recommend for him? Include
therapy and medication. For Clarice Sterling she is suffering from PTSD from both
childhood trauma as well as a vicious and violent encounter in the line of
duty. What therapies and medications
would you recommend for her? How long
after the events of the film would you expect her to return to active duty? For the Character of
Hannibal Lector the film does not give enough information to support a clear
diagnosis. Using only his behavior as
presented in the film (ignore his appearance in other books, TV shows and
movies) create a list of three possible psychological diagnosis of him. For each choice explain what additional
information would be needed to confirm or refute the diagnosis.
