We plan to include this event on next year's academic calendar and hope you will join us then!

The purpose of the film series is to encourage psychoanalytic dialogue with respect to creativity and movies. 

Description:

Suffering from insomnia, disturbed loner Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) takes a job as a New York City cabbie, haunting the streets nightly, growing increasingly detached from reality as he dreams of cleaning up the filthy city. When Travis meets pretty campaign worker Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), he becomes obsessed with the idea of saving the world, first plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate, then directing his attentions toward rescuing 12-year-old prostitute Iris (Jodie Foster).

—  Summary provided by Rovi (Fandango)

Objectives:

  1. Describe and explain the connection between some forms of combat related PTSD, a felt sense of helplessness and grandiosity.
  2. Describe how social alienation can interact with some forms of PTSD to engender violent fantasies and actions.

Dr. Stevens is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice who works with adolescents and adults.
