Awakenings (Guide for Movie Response Paper)
1. Describe the symptoms of the character “Lenny” in
childhood as well as adulthood.
2. Describe Lucy’s symptoms.
3. In Lenny’s, Lucy’s and the other similar cases, how do their
symptoms compare with those of people with schizophrenia?
4. Describe Dr. Sayer’s “will” theory in regard to his patients’
reactions to the ball. Relate this to the “will” of some people
with schizophrenia.
5. What various stimuli make these patients react? (i.e., what
reaches them?)
6. Why might these patients have been diagnosed as suffering
from “atypical schizophrenia”?
7. Unlike the case of schizophrenia, we know what caused these
patients’ disorder. What was it?
8. The older doctor says these patients aren’t thinking, “the
virus didn’t spare their higher faculties.” Dr. Sayer asks how he
knows that. The older doctor replies, “Because the alternative is
unthinkable.” What does he mean by that? What effect did this
point of view have on these patients’ diagnosis and treatment?
Can you relate this to schizophrenia or mental illness in
general?
9. Why does it bother Dr. Sayer that Lucy was drawn to the
window rather than to the drinking fountain? Can you relate this
to Maslow?
10. The EEG indicates what about Lenny?
11. Dr. Sayer uses an unusual technique to assess his patients.
What is it?
12. What finally moves Burt?
13. Why does the poem, “The Panther,” have special
significance for Lenny?
14. What is L-Dopa? It is used in the treatment of what
disorder?
15. Dr. Sayer parallels Parkinson’s and his patients’ disorder.
Describe this.
16. The dopamine circuit is affected in opposite ways in
Parkinson’s and schizophrenia. Phenothiazines taken for a long
period produce Parkinson-like symptoms in the person with
schizophrenia. Knowing this and knowing the effect on
phenothiazine on the dompamine circuit, explain why you think
L-Dopa “awakes” Dr. Sayer’s patients.
17. What are the various psychological reactions the patients
have to their “awakenings”?
18. What Parkinson-like symptoms does Lenny exhibit when he
develops tolerance to LDopa?
19. One doctor describes Lenny as being paranoid. How does
Dr. Sayer explain this? Describe this in terms of labeling
theory.
20. What ethical questions are raised in this movie regarding
treatment? What is your opinion?
21. What is the second “awakening” Dr. Sayer refers to at the
end of the movie? What does this suggest about the treatment of
mental patients?

Awakenings (Guide for Movie Response Paper) 1. Describe the symp.docx

  • 1. Awakenings (Guide for Movie Response Paper) 1. Describe the symptoms of the character “Lenny” in childhood as well as adulthood. 2. Describe Lucy’s symptoms. 3. In Lenny’s, Lucy’s and the other similar cases, how do their symptoms compare with those of people with schizophrenia? 4.
