A Psychology Goes to the Movies
special event

November 2009 Intrigued by In Treatment:
The Best of Shrinks, The Worst of Shrinks

Sunday, November 8, 2009
1:30pm - 5:30pm
Pine Manor College, Chestnut Hill

Why do we have a love/hate relationship with Dr. Paul Weston (played by Gabriel Byrne), the therapist in HBO's hit drama series In Treatment?

The portrayal of psychotherapists in film and on TV has long made real-life psychotherapsists wince. Is this how the public sees us? Finally, a TV show appears that presents a therapist who makes brilliant interventions but who has profound personal failings. Not only do we get to see him as a therapist, but he is in treatment himself with his own therapist — who is also brilliant and flawed.

Join us as we examine the therapeutic process represented in this thought-provoking and dramatic series. Combining professional presentations—including video clips from the show itself—with audience discussion, the conference will be geared toward creating a deeper understanding of psychotherapy—and the psychotherapists who provide it—based on this stimulating television series.

Whether you’ve never seen an episode or are an ardent follower of the show, we hope you’ll join us for a fascinating afternoon.
