Binding: Paperback
Description: Within this book Ruth Netzer explores the archetypal components of therapist - patient relations in cinema from the perspective of Jungian archetypal symbolism and within the context of myth and ritual. Film is a medium that is attracted to the extremes of this specific relationship depicting the collapse of the accepted boundaries of therapyp; though on the other hand cinema also loves the fantasy of therapy as intimacy. Through the medium of film and employing examples from over 45 well - known films the author analyzes the successes and failures of therapists within film and reviews the concepts of transference and counter - transference and their therapeutic and redemptive powers in contrast to their potential for destruction and exploitation within the context of a patient - therapist relationship. This book will be a fascinating read for Jungian analysts psychologists psychiatrists and therapists with an interest in the link between cinema and therapy as well as filmmakers and students and teachers of film studies.
