Psychology and literature are interrelated branches of science because they discuss human life. One of the literary works that is easy to find is film. The object
of this study is the film The Voices (2014), written by Michael R. Perry. The Voices (2014) tells the story of Jerry, a man with schizophrenia. This study discusses what
are the symptoms of schizophrenia experienced by Jerry in the film The Voices (2014) and what are the causes of schizophrenia experienced by Jerry in the film The Voice (2014).
This study uses Eugen Bleuler's theory of schizophrenia. It uses qualitative methods to analyze data collected from dialogue, monologues, and narrative in film scripts. The author used four steps to collect data: watching films, reading film scripts, identifying data, and classifying data.
Two results were found from this study. First, Jerry shows symptoms of schizophrenia in the form of association, affectivity, and ambivalence. Second, Jerry experienced schizophrenia due to three factors, namely genetic factors,
psychological factors, and environmental factors.
