A Dangerous Method
Good morning...
I'm Dr. Jung.
I admitted you yesterday.
I'm not...
I'm not...
not mad, you know.
Let me explain what I have in mind.
I propose that we meet here,
most days, to talk for an hour or two.
Talk?
Yes.
Just talk.
See if we can identify
what's troubling you.
So as to distract you
as little as possible,
I'm gonna sit there,
behind you.
I'm gonna ask you to try not to turn around
and look at me under any circumstances.
Now...
Have you any idea what may have brought
on these attacks you suffer from?
Hu...
humiliation.
Any kind of...
humiliation.
Like, I can't bear to see it and
it makes me feel nauseated.
cold sweat.
My...
my...
my...
my... my... my father...
lost his... his temper all the time.
He was always...
When you stopped talking just now,
did a thought come into your head?
I...
I don't know...
Or an image, perhaps.
Was it an image?
Yes.
What was the image?
It was a hand.
My...
my... my father's hand.
Why do you think you saw that?
When... whenever he would...
after...
whenever he...
whenever he hit us, we...
afterward we had to...
we had to kiss his hand.
What's odd is...
that case I was writing up last week,
I happened to pick the codename
Sabina S.
And here she is... Sabina Spielrein.
Quite a coincidence.
As you know, I don't believe
there is such a thing.
Spielrein's not a very Russian name.
No, Jewish.
Father's a very successful
import-export man.
And she's exceptionally well educated,
speaks fluent German.
Aspires to be a doctor herself,
apparently.
Perhaps she's the one.
What one?
The one you've been looking for.
For your experimental treatment.
The talking cure.
You're so astute.
I've already begun it with her.
He's kicking.
Can you feel it?
Oh, yes.
There he is.
What I don't understand is
why Freud, having proposed
this radical therapeutic idea,
this talking cure, this
psychoanalysis, then lets
years go by without giving
his clinical procedures?
What's he playing at?
Presumably he uses the
method on his patients?
I've no idea.
So might you be the first
doctor to try this out?
It's possible.
Why don't you write and ask him?
I don't know him.
As it happens, Miss Spielrein's mother
wanted to take her to see Freud.
Another coincidence.
mother doesn't love him.
And he's right, she doesn't.
How do you know?
My angel told me.
What angel?
An inner voice.
He used to tell me
I was an exceptional person.
For some reason
It's traditional.
He gave me the power to know
what people are going to say...
before they open their mouths.
Useful ability for a doctor.
You hope to be a doctor
some day, don't you?
I'll never be a doctor.
Why not?
I have to go away for awhile.
I'm sorry.
We've just gotten started.
Military service.
We all have to do it.
- Just for a couple of weeks.
- It's a waste of time!
I can't tell you whatever it is
you want to know! You're just...
you're just making me angry.
And even if I could tell you,
you'd be sorry you ever...!
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with me!
I don't even want to get better!
Stop it!
- What? I was only trying to...
- Will you just stop with...
stop with that!
I'm sorry.
Can we get back now?
- Yes, if you want to.
- I need to get back.
It's a complete waste of my time.
Writing prescriptions
for athlete's foot...
and examining cocks
from morning 'til night.
Is that what you do?
It's not good for me.
