The purpose of the film series is to encourage psychoanalytic dialogue with respect to creativity and movies.
Description: The Story of the Weeping Camel is a documentary that explores attachment issues between a camel and her offspring in a tribal setting of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. The film beautifully depicts the struggle for this multi-generational tribe and their camels to choose between loving and rejecting.
The discussion for this film will be geared toward mental health professionals that work therapeutically with individuals and families. The documentary opens a discussion to deepen the understanding of attachment drive and possible problems creating secure connections between mother and child. Empathy, curiosity, and emotional arousal/regulation will be discussed.
Objectives:
- Explain the nature and importance of attachment drive in mammals and its relevance to humans.
- Apply attachment principles in evaluating young children and their primary caregiver(s).
