Freudian Scripts


In Session with “Shutter Island” with Dr. Weber

October 15, 2020

This week Dr. Sam & Dr. Fran discuss our second psychological thriller, Shutter Island, as part of October's Spooky Session Series. Join the doctors and Teddy Daniels as they embark on a journey to Ashecliffe Hospital in search of a missing patient.  This week, Dr. Emily Weber, a forensic psychologist, joins as we discuss the evolution of forensic hospitals and treatment as well as trauma, delusions, and hallucinations. Are transorbital lobotomies still a major form of treatment for the "criminally insane?" What does "criminally insane" even mean?  Most importantly, does Teddy uncover and thwart a mass conspiracy to experiment on patients and create "ghost soldiers?" Dr. Sam pulls out her spy notebook and the doctors work to get to the bottom of what is really happening at Ashecliffe.  Which would be worse—to live as a monster?
