Description: How do you like your movie shrink? Funny, evil, troubled, a genius of benevolence? Hollywood has room for them all. This course looks at how psychotherapy and therapists have been portrayed on the screen over the decades. You’ll stream a movie at home each week. The presenter will show additional clips to keep the thematic conversation going throughout our therapeutic sessions. How does this description make you feel? Films, subject to change, could include Spellbound (1945), David and Lisa (1962), What About Bob? (1991), and Antwone Fisher (2002). Films are available to stream; some may be at a nominal fee.
