Could you restate the question?

A while ago, I posted my introductory paragraph for my thesis. Then I posted my sample, which has since changed. (And changed again, but I didn't post that.)

Here's the research question:

The purpose of this study is to explore the practical implications of these fictitious, cinematic representations of mental health practitioners by looking at the demographic data of the clients and clinicians in films produced in the last twenty years, featuring at least one scene of one-on-one individual therapy. My research question asks: how are the conventions of ethics in therapy treated in modern film? Do the representations of the therapeutic process in this randomly selected group of 50 fictitious films produced between 1990 and 2010 accurately portray the professions they claim to depict, as measured by specific ethical guidelines delineated in a cross-section of each professional Code of Ethics?

Scintillating.
