El psicoanalista a través de sus traumas

Abstract

The figure of the psychoanalyst occasionally appeared in the cinema in the thirties and more frequently in the forties. Their strictly therapeutic and beneficial function has led them to be cast in the role of helpers. When psychoanalysis began to occupy a more relevant position in the cinema, the logic of dramatic fiction began to question their “heroic condition”, one in which in which they must seek answers to the contradictions in their own lives, and where they become subject to inner conflicts in which the Hippocratic oath that separates their professional careers and private lives is somehow violated.
