SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes On Cinema: Session 2 of 3: Discussion of the film "Me Before You"
DESCRIPTION:*** Film must be viewed prior to event. *** \nDiscussion of the film “Me Before You”\n \nFriday\, January 30\, 2026\n4:00 pm – 5:30 pm\nVia Zoom \n2016 (120 min)\nDirector: Thea Sharrock\nDiscussant: Katherine Marshall Woods\, Psy.D. \nA girl in a small town forms an unlikely bond with a recently-paralyzed man she’s taking care of.\n \nPresentation: It has been a long-standing question regarding whether an individual has the right to take their own life. This question has invited both legal and moral considerations into the conversation. Physician Assisted Suicides have become legal in America in thirteen states and the District of Columbia for certain individuals/patients. Me Before You explores the affective response and behavioral manifestations that occur with the loved ones of those who have accepted a PAS. Examining the range of grief experienced\, coupled with the diligent use of defense mechanisms to emotionally cope with the person’s chosen manner to end their life is illustrated in this film event. \nIn this talk\, we will discuss the dynamics present within the film Me Before You in thecontext of age and SES. We will also have the opportunity to screen Pat Basstini’s short\, Dignity (2020)\, and explore similar and differing dynamics given the season in life the characters find themselves. Participants will have an opportunity to speak with the filmmaker at the event. \nDiscussant: Katherine Marshall Woods\, PsyD\, is a media psychologist and licensed clinical psychologist in Washington\, DC.
