Conrad was overshadowed by the talents and bright personality of Buck when he was existent and he can not overcome the notion of crime and estrangement from his mate and family when his brother is dead. In Good Will Hunting the main(prenominal) character is also haunted by the spirit of guil t and personal imperfection. This looking is rooting in his difficult childhood and abusive parents. In both movies the main reasons of sense of guild and low self-esteem and estrangement from the people are result of family relations. In Good Will Hunting these feels are the result of firmly childhood and abusive parents, and in Ordinary People these feelings and provoked by terrible tragedy.In Ordinary People Dr. Berger makes everything possible to help Conrad to overcome his feeling of guild and to find strength to continue living. Personal talk and analysis are main methods the make uses.In Good Will Hunting Sean also makes everything possible to help his character to overcome the feeling of guilt and to come in touch with his real dreams and desires.Will So what does it say? Will has an trammel dis revisal? Fear of abandonment? Is that why I broke up with Skylar?Sean Didnt know you had.

Session with the clinical psychologist is one of Lambeaus necessary conditions he puts to Will in exchange for his help. Professor turns to the help of his childhood friend Sean. Sean does everything possible to find the reason of Wills behavior, his motifs and reasons. They use the method of psychoanalysis and personal talk. Their meetings also contain the elements of person-centered therapy and cognitive therapy. Doctor Sean wants to find the deepest reasons of his patients behavior. In the beginning of their professional rela tions Will does everything possible to sabotage the run for of Sean. He does not want to come inDoctor Sean finds himself in difficult situation when he finds out that his patient has experienced same domestic violence and abuse as he himself did in the childhood. Now he has to deal with the problem he has experienced himself and from the one side it simplifies the task scarce from the other side makes it more difficult.Will Sean is going through Wills profile. Inside we see are pictures of Will after brutal assaults by his foster parents You ever have any, uh, experience with that?Sean Twenty years of counseling, Ive seen whatever pretty awful shit.Will No. I mean, have you ever had any experience with that?Sean personally?

This feeling is rooted in childhood abuse and Sean wants his patients to get exempt o f this feeling. Will influences Sean as well. He became the driving force which makes the doctor to face his own problems and fears.Dr. Berger also meets a kind of moral dilemma while working with his patient. Conrads family can not provide him necessary remain firm after the death of his brother, same like after his attempt to commit a suicide. Dr. Berger finds himself in a difficult situation and meets a kind of a moral dilemma. While he makes everything possible to ground Conrad that his parents really care for him and truly love him, he gradually finds out that Conrads mother Beth does not guide any good attitude to her younger son. Beths feelings are frozen if any, and even when Conrad follows Dr Bergers advice and tells his mom about his feeling and hugs her she distances from him.To my opinion, despite both therapists show high professional level, they both make mistakes in their actions. Dr. Berger does not severalise the essence of relations between Conrad and his mothe r. He pushes the boy to reveal his feeling to his mother in order to be rejected again. Despite it finally clears up the situation, this experience is too hard for the teenager who experiences hard trauma after the death of his older brother. Dr. Maguire starts too personal relations with the patient. The patient provokes him to start transaction with his personal problems. Despite these facts are good for the plot of the movie, they do not correspond to the medial ethics. believably I would choose non of the therapists. When speaking about the patients, I think that Conrads case is interesting and challenging. I would be interested to help him to pass through the feeling of loss and to build normal relations with his parents.
