Human behavior in the social environment presents a multidimensional composite of person, environment, and time. According to Hutchinson (2008), “person, environment, and time interact dynamically. Relationships are reconfigured under the multiple influences of human behavior, ebb and flow” (p. 9). An analysis of human behavior in the social environment involves examining the biological, psychological and spiritual person; as well as environment, culture, dyads, families and communities. This article will serve as an analysis and comparison of two films through the prism of human behavior in the social environment. A biopsychosocial framework will be used to evaluate and determine optimal treatment interventions for a selected character from each film. Hutchinson (2008) describes a biopsychosocial approach: “In this approach, human behavior is viewed as the result of interactions of integrated biological, psychological, and social systems” (p. 11). Additionally, Ericson's stages of psychosocial development in relation to the cast characters in the films "Rachel Gets Married" and "Mother and Child" will be discussed.

Kym's initial interaction with Rachel is warm and her sister... middle of article ......utchison LC (2008), “A turning point in the life course represents a substantial change or discontinuity in the directions; it is a lasting change and not just a temporary detour” (p. 18). The confrontation between Kym and Abby represented a “turning point” for Kym. Kym reaching this turning point in her life is the ideal form of treatment. She then equipped herself with the tools necessary to move forward and fully embrace the treatment. In fact, upon returning home, after leaving the road with her care and spending the night in a contemplative state, Kym's clearly distressed state encourages her to reconnect with Rachel and regain some semblance of balance . Hutchison LC (2008) stated, “These more complex cognitive abilities, combined with greater awareness of personal feelings, characterize cognitive development in young adults” (p. 298).
