The Sixth Sense: Child Therapy, Psychosis, and Multiculturalism

In Our first Halloween episode, we delve into M. Night Shaymalan's The Sixth Sense and discuss its impressively accurate portrayal of building a therapeutic relationship with a child client by Bruce Willis. We also explore the topic of psychosis and how Cole's experience of seeing dead people reminded us of our own encounters with clients who experience psychotic symptoms. We also discuss the importance of remainig respectful of multiculturalism and recongizing the difference between psychosis and a different belief system.
