About this Event

THIS EVENT IS IN PERSON ONLY.
This event is elligible for 3 OPQ CE credits (RA06493-24)


In the morning we will be screening Departures, Yōjirō Takita’s 2008 Oscar-winning movie.
In the afternoon we will look at the movie from a clinical perpsective.

The movie tells the story of Daigo, ayoung man initiated into the sacred art of nōkan, a Buddhist ritual of tending the bodies of dead people in preparation for their funeral. But perhaps more importantly, the background story is about the fate of a man who was raised in a home with an absent father.

In this workshop, taking a mainly clinical perspective, we will use the movie as a case study, eliciting other clinical examples along the way, to better understand some of the mythology about the absent father. We will examine how it plays out dynamically as the psychotherapy evolves, and how sometimes an absent father is a necessity, if not a blessing.
