Psychological humiliation in Medicine and Cinema
Abstract Of Human Bondage, whose plot is based on the homonymous and well-known Somerset Maugham’s novel, presents the growing and sick linkage between a dominant and deceitful waitress and an oppressed crippled and weak-willed medical student. This relationship reaching its peak and subsequently leading to the solution of the melodramatic storyline may be useful not only for viewing and exploring psychological features, not distant from Medicine, but aspects related with a mature and emphatic physician-patient relationship where formal leadership have to prevail over any other autocratic variant. Furthermore, it shows facets of the nowadays designed domestic violence.
