The purpose of the film series is to encourage psychoanalytic dialogue with respect to creativity and movies.
EVENT DESCRIPTION, OBJECTIVES, AND BIOS
Description: The film series is for all mental health professionals. Dive My Car narrates a global, transgenerational, and personal journey of loss and mourning. As the movie recites several stories simultaneously, we witness the timeless influence of these often-traumatic events that are remembered, retold, and reconstructed as they happened in the past, are happening in the present, and will occur because of how the past and present shape the future—borrowing known works of literature and music to create links between pained souls of the characters and to heal the old wounds and nagging scars.
The discussants will show excerpts from the movie to generate a dialogue with the audience about the intrapsychic process of mourning, the transgenerational impact of trauma, and the presentation of un-mourned trauma, metaphorically called haunting ghosts of the past, in the psychic life of a cast of diverse characters.
CME Objectives (1.5 CME Credits Available):
- Discuss “how the past is present” from a psychoanalytic perspective that focuses on the impact of repressed and unmetabolized trauma on the actions and personalities of different characters.
- Apply the movie to describe, explain, and demonstrate mourning as an intrapsychic, multinarrative, transgenerational process in the journey “to bury the ghosts of the past and transform them into ancestors” that offer healing and acceptance.
- Discuss and describe common themes in internalizing relationships and the mourning process by using intertextuality in the presence of multi-lingual and multicultural context.
