PODCASTS

Lighthouse is pleased to offer audio programs that pay homage to our psychoanalytic roots as well as make way for the latest in neuroscience and cutting edge research by experts in the fields of psychiatry and psychology. We strive for balance between the academic and the everyday.

#1 Introduction


Hear a synopsis of the movie “No Country for Old Men.” Introductions are made for Dr. Malcolm Bonnheim and Dr. Dale Godby, two psychologists who practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy and who will be discussing the movie from a psychoanalytic perspective.

 

#2 Unstoppable evil and omnipotence

What does “No Country for Old Men” tell us about the human condition? Are we drawn to violence? Does “unstoppable evil” really exist? How would we relate to it and manage it? Can we think about our own “unstoppable impulses” in the same light? Can we identify with Chigurh’s sense of omnipotence as he toys with people’s lives? What would make us long for feelings of power or control?

 

#3 Relationships and morality

What do relationships have to do with morality? How would someone like Llewelyn respond in psychotherapy? What can we learn about ourselves from Llewelyn? How do we manage our feelings about living in a world that is bigger than us and in one where we have little control?
