Film showing
Miss Barros promised us that this Friday their will be no lectures instead we will be watching a movie. I was thankful because their will be no lecture. :D
She brings out a DVD titled The Unsaid. In the title itself has catch my attention. I was already thinking about words, expression, feelings, thoughts, and gestures were left unsaid. While watching the movie their many things that bother my mind because before Miss Barros left us she said that here are some cases that psychologist are handling. By that I was imagining what those cases are. I know for a fact that psychologist gives counseling, listens to their patients problems, helping or guiding patients on how to solve their problems by their own decisions. So, let me give you a brief background about the movie “The Unsaid”.

As Hunter comes out of his academic ‘retirement’ (he used to be a practising psychologist) to treat a psychotic teenager called Tommy (Vincent Kartheiser). Tommy is all control, at any rate on the surface. But, in reality, his life has been warped, possibly for ever, by an abusive parent. The case is an especially difficult one for Hunter, because what he had retreated from into academic life was a trauma of his own, caused by the suicide of his teenage son (a scene frighteningly depicted in the movie, as Hunter breaks into his garage to find his son’s body).
“It’s about a father seeking redemption for the loss of one son through another boy,” suggests Garcia of the character he plays. “Here’s a man who is feeling a huge tragedy in his life and is guilt-ridden because of that. The journey for him is to seek some sort of redemption for what he believes he was responsible for - in this case, the suicide of his son.
I was terrified about the movie. We were all shouting and shocked about what the antagonist and protagonist are doing. We wished that we where there to help change the settings so that it will end up happily ever after. We didn’t mean to disturb the other class because they were disturbed by our noise.

This scene is one of my favorite. It was at the last scene when the psychologist visits his patient and playing a ball with him but still the patient says that I am not your son because what Tom was usually doing is what Kyle was also usually does.
As I go home I was thinking if AB psychology is the course that I deserve. I was bothered, what if I wasn’t be able to fulfill my duty as a clinical psychologist? What if I failed in helping my patients about their personal problems and issues? I hope not. But I still have faith in my own abilities that I will make a name in the field in psychology. And will be able to help more people as much as I can.
