Program Description
Greta Gerwig's charming, brilliantly written, funny and psychologically real film has a lot to say about mothers and daughters. Being a mother brings its challenges. Being a daughter means separating, and that has troubles too. For Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson (Saoirise Ronan) and her opinionated, strong-willed, but (somewhere buried inside) loving mom Marion (Laurie Metcalf), separation is no easy task. To understand the all too obvious and painful struggles between them we must turn to certain clues in Marion's historical and psychological realties. What else can a psychoanalyst do?
 
Audience
MD's, Psychologists, LCSW's, MFT's, Registered Nurses, and other learners interested in developing psychoanalytic understanding.  
 
Course Objectives
At the end of this activity, participants will be able to: 
  • Recognize how a mother's early history comes into play when she has a child;
  • Demonstrate at least two anxieties that are defended against by provocative behaviors;
  • Articulate the function that criticism serves to guard against anxieties about love.
