Join us to discuss horror films and their relationship to real-world trauma. What does it mean when patients who have experienced real horrors in their lives seek out horror in the movies they watch? How does horror as a genre reflect both fantasies and realities of trauma? And how do we as clinicians use horror movies to help us understand our patients’--and our own–experiences of fears, wishes, and experiences of violence and healing?

 

Participants will be invited to watch several films or clips beforehand; these optional suggestions will be forthcoming.

Caitlin Spies, LICSW, is a mother, a psychotherapist, and a Clinical Associate Faculty member at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis (CCP). Her first encounters with psychoanalysis were through literature, literary criticism, and film. She studied psychology and creative writing at Macalester College, after which she pursued work in both fields of mental health and the literary arts. After completing her master’s in social work at the University of Chicago, she received post-graduate training in contemporary psychoanalysis at the CCP. Her interests in film, fiction, history, and music often intersect around the uncanny, gender and sexuality, gothic, and horror. Motherhood has helped her grow as a therapist, and as a person, more than any training she has received; psychoanalysis has helped her as a mother, and as a person, in immeasurable ways. Literature, film, and music continue to help hold and enhance it all in vivid color. She lives and practices in Minneapolis.
