Abstract :
In this research, the writer found that the movie “Shutter Island” by Martin Scorsese showed the types of delusional disorder experienced by major characters, they are grandiose types, jealous types, persecutory types, and somatic types. Edward Daniels is more dominant in grandiose types than the jealous, persecutory, and somatic types. The writer also found the treatment to cure delusional disorder of major character depicted in the movie, they are individual therapy, and anti psychotic drugs. Daniels treated by all of those treatments through the exploring his faulty mind and together with his psychiatrist presenting some factual information about him. However, the disorder needs to be treated before it becomes chronic.
