Good Will Hunting - Failed Therapists

Failed therapy scenes in Good Will Hunting

[@odinson1]

"No more Tom Foolery, no more Ballyhoo." I always wondered what a therapist in 1812 would have been like.

[@iluvgtasan]

I've practically watched the whole movie with these scene clicking sprees.

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

It's on Netflix!

[@MrWhite-pn7ui]

+AlchemistOfNirnroot Wow, who would have thought a movie would be on a movie service? Jackass.

A therapist dumping a patient for being a lunatic is like an oncologist dumping a patient for having cancer.

Applying a hammer to a screw won't fit it in place even though it's a tool, you need the right therapist for the right mind

Except that the cancer patient isnt making sport of their own doctors - wether psycology is even a legitimate thing is a different story, I do not advocate for it

They all gave up. So, they failed him too It works two ways As a therapist, you dont quit, you constantly push and pull

[@beltane1843]

The problem with people like you , if you are a therapist/ psychologist is you underestimate the intelligence of hurt people. They can play you at your own twisted game! You sound like a hired Nazi

[@brienmaybe.4415]

It's all a game it's called: do you want to play doctor and patient like we did when we were kids? It's every westerners easterners northerners southerners or theologians/anti-theologans childhood fantasy practically-hence why it became a job so people can make a living. Anyways, everything is a thought; we're made of atoms-which contain an infinite number of smaller particles starting with the electrons which has leptons etc..., that come from the void of space, your sight precrpetion isn't coming from your eyes but from your organic brain, your ego is a thought of the total sum of learned condtioning- which also comes from your physical brain and everything changes constantly. Kiss my ass and happy 2019.

[@khatack]

And in the process you fuck up your own life. I'm glad I'm not a fucking therapist.

[@kornival117]

How can you consider yourself a therapist and try to help people and call your patient a lunatic? a therapist is not suppose to judge.

[@dankplatypus420]

Adam P because he called him gay, he got in his feels. You think he wants to be outted more than he wants to protect, what? A patient’s feelings? He knows Will doesn’t care, why should he?

[@odawg114]

I like the path Matt Damon went with his action/drama films, but it would've been nice to see him do more comedy. These sequences of therapists Damon goes through just prove that he has got some potential at telling stories in a comedic way.

[@obscure4847]

Good Will Hunting 2 Hunting Season

[@michaelsong5555]

Matt Damon is mostly focusing on comedies than action. Yes, he was the protagonist in that Jason Bourne thing, but he shined in comedies, such as The Martian.

[@osamabad3597]

Look up Stuck in You

[@overlydramaticpanda]

He's actually done a surprising number of comedic roles. Not necessarily full-on comedy movies but certainly roles that required decent comedic timing and a general talent for comedy: Dogma (and his cameos in other Kevin Smith movies), the Ocean's Trilogy, The Informant, Stuck On You, his cameo in Eurotrip, 30 Rock, his "feud" with Jimmy Kimmel, his sketches on SNL, and those are just the ones off the top of my head. I don't think he was ever going to be confident enough in his comedic talent to make it as a comedian doing a lot of full-on comedy movies (his first truly comedic role was in Dogma and Kevin Smith mentioned on the commentary that it took a while for him to settle into it) but all in all I'd say he's done just as many comedic roles as serious ones.

[@iapples38]

Will tried to. He says "I hide from people". The reaction of the therapist is awful so he retreats again

[@whyareyouevenbotheringtota8655]

Sue Derry no he never had the intention of opening up he was just fucking with him the entire time

[@suederry1892]

i think so, and my guess is as good as yours :-)

[@jwbrouwer5177]

I think he wanted to open up, but this therapist was acting, even mimicking him. I don't think Will likes that and goes on offense. Isn't the whole movie about Will trying to open up?

[@suederry1892]

what I mean is that in all that crap that Will says there is a hook to the truth. How the therapist reacts ("you *hide* from people??") is what I believe makes Will go back to his shell

[@amylynn6074]

Sue Derry no he doesn't try to open up to anyone at all, actually quite the opposite. So the point is that he went into every therapists office with the intention of goofing off and messing with them to watch them get flustered. It was entertaining for him. Basically beating them at their own game because he was very intelligent and can see through the fake let me heal you talk about your emotions thing. That's why the therapist (robin williams) actually got somewhere with him. :)

[@AaronQ1222]

I love how Will carefully spreads them apart and flytraps them through their own devices, lol.

[@DivineSimply]

There's a lot of truth to these scenarios. I've known some psychiatrists and therapists who were completely nuts. One, a famous Boston MD shrink, treated my aunt. He was bananas. While talking to my aunt, who was in bed after a car crash, he spied the hot dog lunch on her tray on the side table, and while talking to her, absent-mindedly picked up the dog, squeezed it completely out of the bun, and set it back on the plate, and then left. She couldn't believe it. Then there was an ex friend of mine who was counseling adult victims of childhood sexual abuse. Turned out she liked little pre-pubescent girls, and was using her clients' abuse stories to masturbate at home. Then there was the MD shrink who treated my brother. When my bro had a breakdown and told the shrink he wanted to kill himself, the shrink told him he just needed to work more hours bagging groceries at his job. I had to take him myself to the ER for admittance. The admitting nurse shook her head when I told her what the MD said. Then there's the retired MD shrink here in my hood who has never talked to anybody and never, ever miles. He's an amoeba. It looks like some form of autism. And these guys are all let loose on an innocent, vulnerable population. Give me a Sean McGuire anytime - if you can find one.

[@seangannon6005]

We had a school shrink and we girls led him to believe we had electra complexes. He was delirious with triumph

[@axlrosea675]

and i used to see a psychiatrist and he almost killed me. things can go very wrong in therapy, mostly because therapists esteem themselves way too highly. They think the world is a crazy place, but they're the shining stars up above. It can be really awful, especially when you went there because you really needed help, but realize that what they care about is their own fucking ego

[@carolinevictory1414]

[@CheerfullyCynical829]

Will was afraid that if he became just like Gerry, an obsessive mathematical egghead, he wouldn't get laid anymore.......except maybe by a hooker. Will wanted to be cool and tough more than he wanted to be a scarf-wearing, Perrier-sipping brainiac.

[@matthewkopp2391]

I was in therapy when this movie was on the big screen. The irony is the protagonist never learned what his projection onto woman (love object) actually means. So the story really starts the moment he leaves. Trauma is yet to be healed by the main character.

I've always loved this scenes, and they're hilarious, but what ruins them is the fact that no therapist would allow a second party to sit in on their session even i he is Willl's legal guardian or whatever. Least of which all let his assistant to sit in other sessions. Also the one shrink is George Plimpton. Good cameo performance. Also @dankane90 3 years ago "A difficult theorem can be like a.. symphony. it's very erotic..
