 ) How were the criminally insane really treated/how are they treated today?
 Submitted by Mallory Karnei (I pledge…)
+. For my film The Snake Pit, the the methods and ideas of Freud are seen as in some ways the solution for all problems mentally if given enough time. Knowing what we know in the modern knowledge of Mental Health can we really view this Freudian idea mixed with in some cases effective drug treatments as seen in the film as something vastly different from what we do today?
+. The Snake Pit places the “good guy” psychiatrist Dr. Kik as almost the very model of the ideal psychiatrist. With him being close to and getting to know all of his patients and trying to get them to only leave the asylum when they are cured of their mental illness. Is the idea that Dr. Kik represents the ideal thought of what a psychiatrist is in 1940s America? Or was he as when compared to his colleagues meant to be the impossible standard that was needed but not met?

+.) The film that I chose was Black Swan, featuring Natalie Portman. I chose the movie because it provides an example of how society's harsh expectations can lead one into insanity. My question for the film is this; how do you think society drives women mentally over the edge>
+.) The character, Nina, consistently aims for perfection throughout the movie; do you think this is an example of a pre-existing mental concern amplified by society, or something that is implemented into her mind over time?
