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.
