“A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture.”- Abraham J. Heschel

MOVIE CLIP:

Scene from Analyze This- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDbe0WD-aMI

Very funny movie!  Believe it or not, it is also insightful  into the ways you can get into a person’s psyche–as difficult as it may sometimes be. This scene is one of my favorites and gives us a look as to how therapists sound sometimes (from a patient’s perspective). I very much enjoyed watching how Robert de Niro’s character (mafioso) pushes and challenges Billy Chrystal’s character (psychiatrist) in the movie and how they both learn from each other in the end. If you haven’t seen it, it is a must!!! ENJOY ; )

TV CLIP:

Bethenny Getting Married – http://www.bravotv.com/bethenny-getting-married/videos/sweating-the-small-stuff

Since the show aired, popular reality TV star, Bethenny Frankl has been shown seeking therapy and sharing it with viewers. Whether or not you like the show or care for her in particular, I think there is a big positive here: she is showing an example of the positive effects of therapy and reducing the stigma attached to it. Every week, fans see her express her vulnerabilities openly and on television (not easy!) and I am sure it has changed people’s perspectives on therapy.  Take a look ; )
