Film and Mind Online: Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always
March 12, 2021, 6:45 - 10:15 PM
Join NCP as we take our Film and Mind series online!
Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always (1 hr 41 min) Autumn is in trouble. She’s 17 years old, part of a dysfunctional family, living in a small, conservative town in Pennsylvania, and is suddenly faced with an unexpected and very unwanted pregnancy. Any help or support from her family seems impossible. Isolated, depressed, afraid and ashamed, she is desperate to find a way out of this problem. She is joined by her 20-year-old cousin, Skylar, who signs on to help. Together, the girls start their brave and perilous journey to face the wilds of New York City. They are forced to confront and deal with the challenges that come up as they try to survive with almost no money and no contingency plans, in search of a safe and protected abortion. A fascinating film inviting a psychodynamic study of the main character and the relationship that saves her.

- Discuss the analyst's use of self in working with patients who are closed off or shut down
- Examine some of the elements of the "reparative relationship" in analysis and in life
