Re: What media do you think has aged REALLY well?

[sarillia]

I was actually surprised by how well mental illness was handled in The Snake Pit. Though really what caught my attention was that there was no miracle cure that solved everything, and that doesn't preclude other issues.

I actually agree (and it was a really good movie, too!) -- it even was instrumental in inspiring the California state government to change their regulations on mental hospitals in the years following.

What I thought didn't age well was the dated neo-Freudian conclusion of the psychiatrist as to the root of Virginia's psychosis (early childhood trauma of rejection at the hands of a distant father) and the use of psychoanalysis to treat patients with schizophrenia [edited to add:], particularly the reliance on "therapeutic insight".

I mean, it's a great movie and its quality is not at all lessened by these things! It's just that when those parts of the movie occurred, I inwardly groaned. :)

Huh, I don't even remember those parts. It probably bothered me at the time too. But still, it can't be worse in that regard than something like Spellbound. Oh Freudian psychology.
