The following series of posts were written by me elsewhere but I decided to drag them into this space because...

- It may help people who have experienced psychosis to better understand their own experience.

- It may help family and friends who are attempting to support someone who has been through psychosis to better understand that experience.

The beauty of using a movie to help explain this process is that many people have seen the movie or can easily rent it from their local movie store. Also, even though it may touch on some common ground, it's not my experience or your experience and sometimes it can be easier to speak of such things when there's a bit of distance. In spite of which, any readers should be aware that the film contains some disturbing scenes.

I will be using a Jungian method of interpretation so I'll also drag in a few props that can help serve as an introduction to the Jungian model of the psyche. In addition, I'll quote others where it may be helpful and try to leave plenty of links behind that others can follow up on if they wish to know more in that particular area.

It will probably take me awhile to construct this thread in its entirety and it might be helpful if no one else posts in it until that is done. If you do have a question of comment, I'll respectfully request that you hold off on it until I can type: THE END.
