Eavesdropping: The psychotherapist in film and television
Editat de Lucy Huskinson, Terrie Waddellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2014
InEavesdropping, a selection of contributions from internationally-based film consultants, practicing psychotherapists and interdisciplinary scholars investigate the curious dynamics that occur when films and television programmes attempt to portray the psychotherapist, and the complexities of psychotherapy, for popular audiences.
The book evaluates the potential mismatch between the onscreen psychotherapist, whose raison d’être is to entertain and engage global audiences, and the professional, real-life counterpart, who becomes intimately involved with the dramas of their patients. While several contributors conclude that actual psychotherapy, and the way psychotherapists and their clients grapple with notions of fantasy and reality, would make a rather poor show,Eavesdroppingdemonstrates the importance of psychotherapy and psychotherapists on-screen in assisting us to wrestle with the discomfort – and humour - of our lives.
Offering a unique insight into perceptions of psychotherapy,Eavesdroppingwill be essential and insightful reading for analytical psychologists, psychoanalysts, academics and students of depth psychology, film and television studies, media studies and literature, as well as filmmakers.

Recenzii
"An interesting investigation of the connections between film and therapy that focuses on the portrayed character and performance of the therapist, rather than on plotlines or therapeutic themes." - Colin Feltham, Therapy Today
‘There is a lack in psychoanalytic criticism as remarkably it has overlooked the figure of the therapist. This fascinating book redresses that situation. Looking at both fictional therapy and fictional therapists, and with a global view, the essays weave in and out of the consulting room. In so doing each contributor casts light on the representation of the therapist and therapy itself. This is a wonderful collection that offers a range of fresh perspectives - a much needed and insightful addition to psychoanalytic criticism that makes for compelling reading.’ - Dr Luke Hockley, Professor of Media Analysis and Psychotherapist, University of Bedfordshire, UK
"Eavesdropping is an interesting collection of essays that coversa a variety of themes relevant to thew ays in which psychotherapists and the process of psychotherapy are portrayed in film and television. One of the strengths of this book is that it takes both cinema and psychotherapy seriously, considering the challegnes, aims, and technical dilemmas of both endeavors. [...] [T]here is enough material here to provide a comprehensive discussion of the broader implications of portraying psychotherapists practicing their craft on the big screen." -James M. Hepburn, PsycCRITIQUES, 2014
