Set in the changing world of the 1960s, the motion picture Girl Interrupted is the searing story of Susanna, a young woman who finds herself at a mental institution for troubled young women. Susanna's 'short rest', prescribed by a psychiatrist she had met just once, becomes a strange journey into Alice's Wonderland, as she spends nearly a year both struggling and flirting with the thin line between 'normal' and 'crazy'. Susanna soon realizes how hard it is to get out once she's been committed, and ultimately she has to choose between the world of those who belong on the inside - such as the seductive and dangerous Lisa - and those who can engage with the reality of the outside world.
This volume includes storyboards and a discussion by the film's director James Mangold about the film-making process by which this screenplay by James Mangold and Lisa Loomer and Anna Hamilton Phelan was transferred to the screen.

I work in an all girl's ward and this book is quite accurate. Girls who would normally be outcasts in regular society form an uncanny bond in treatment centers-- girls who normally hate girls and call them scandalous.

This is the screenplay version of Girl, Interrupted. It has a really interesting discussion with the movie's director along with storyboards and some pictures (black and white) from the movie.
It's interesting to read the screenplay and find the scenes that were actually cut out (among the "extras" on the dvd) and find out about the history of the film and why certain people are in it. If you liked the film then you'll definitely want to get this book.

Fast read that opened my eyes to the way mental illness was treated as well as given some insight to living with BPD. However, was left hoping for a few more details about her behaviors and cognitions.

Had to read this as part of my final project for class and found it very interesting! I don't think I'll watch the movie because the screenplay was intense enough for me, if I'm being honest. However, I look forward to digging in a bit deeper for my scene study final using one of Lisa's scenes!
