Anyone ever seen the 1940’s film Snake Pit (a classic film about the horrors of an insane asylum)? Well, that was a Sunday school picnic compared to this place. Nice Dr. Bishop, the new psychiatrist on his first job away from the training hospital, doesn’t know what’s in store…If we may modify a song from the Eagles: “Welcome to the Hotel St. Andrews…such a  lovely place…. You can
check in but you can never leave…"As head psychiatrist Dr. McCort, Bruce is smooth, suave, silky, sinister and …utterly delicious. His subtle performance slowly but inexorably pulls us into the nightmare… Dr. Bishop soon finds out that Dr. McCort is a bit s-t-r-a-n-g-e. “After all, you don’t know if I’m a real doctor…” he says to Dr. Bishop. Really comforting. Oh yeah. Then Dr. Bishop gets a tour through the wackos –every type of schizophrenia you could ever (not) want to see—borderline, paranoid, catatonic and we don’t just mean the patients… In fact poor Dr. Bishop eventually discovers that that Dr. McCort is more wacko than his patients. Diagnoses in the DSM*, let me count the ways…Doctor, doctor, give us a report. What’s the diagnosis for Dr. McCort? We’d hazard a guess that the one that fits is Schizotypal Personality Disorder. According to our in-house consultant  and mentalhealth.com, Schizotypal
Personality Dosorder is characterized by: · odd beliefs or magical thinking that influences behavior and is inconsistent with subcultural norms (e.g., superstitiousness, bizarre fantasies or preoccupations) "What can I say, it's a nut house, asylum. This is the place to be: murderers, rapists, pedophiles.” [Wow, we can hardly wait to meet them…And what's with this Harvester guy anyway?]  "In
this life we're all destined for something. I guess this place has become my destiny." [O-o-o-kay, if you say so…] · odd thinking and speech (e.g., vague, metaphorical, or overelaborate) "I think it's time we all face the truth. How can I say this - It's quite common, I'm afraid. New physicians often get caught up in the delusions of the people they're trying to cure. They enter the world of their patients. They unknowingly succumb to the very same mental illnesses." [Talk about the pot calling the kettle inky ebony jet black, Dr. McCort…] · suspiciousness or paranoid ideation "You know if you really think about it, you have no idea if I'm a real doctor or  just
another mental patient" [Gee, ya know, it IS hard to tell, what with your creepy comments and all…] · inappropriate or constricted affect "Cheer up, it only gets worse" "Try not to care so much. We're here to contain these people, not cure them" [Gee, you have a great bedside manner, Dr. McCort. Did they teach you that in med school?] · behavior or appearance that is odd, eccentric, or peculiar "We call this etiquette. It's mostly pomp and circumstance, but the abridged version will do just fine."  [Why are you wearing that hooded
cloak, Dr.McCort? What’s with that odd ring you’re wearing?] "It makes me feel someone is watching over me." [oh-oh, put another tally on the paranoid ideation line...] · unusual perceptual experiences, including bodily illusions [Oh-oh, here comes The Harvester again. We're outta here....before we reap what he sows!]  More Dr. McCort          More McCort...if you dare...
