This is a reflection paper for Self-Psychology class, Spring Quarter taught by Dr. Lane Gerber.For this paper, Alina Olaru and Michael Gonzales are working together and they have chosen to write about Ordinary People, a psychological movie. This movie has had a tremendous impact on us, and after watching it and discussing it, we had concluded that the story unfolded in the movie is a very representative example for the field of psychology and especially psychotherapy.Alina:Ordinary People is the story of a family of four once, now of three (Conrad, Calvin and Beth) and focuses mainly on the three of them after the accident and the way they deal with the pain and recovery after the loss.
The film presents a family that has turned into separate individuals living in the same house and who cannot communicate their pain positively. The family’s inability to communicate their problems and to work together as a system lead them down to a path where they each felt an individual breakdown and eventually one as a family.
Conrad shows serious signs of depression and PTSD and he has trouble sleeping, presenting on and off nightmares of trauma. His overall life and activities it has been affected tremendously by this trauma and he doesn’t show any signs of recovering. Conrad is the identified patient of the Jarrett ‘s family and he is the youngest son of the family. He returns home after four months of hospitalizing after a serious suicide attempt. Because the novel focuses on two different people, there are several conflicts throughout the novel that are specific to those individuals.

The inclusion of Karen’s suicide towards the end of the novel is a way of reminding the reader that Conrad may not have recovered completely even when he seems to be getting better; after all, Karen seemed to be doing well when Conrad met her for a Coke earlier in the novel.Another important part of this story is if Calvin (father) and Beth (mother) can recover and work their problems together. Their conflict is fundamentally around the communications problems between them. My understanding is that Calvin believes that their problems can be solved through communications and through talks and expressing feelings, while Beth doesn’t seem to explore much of the past instead she wants to move on with her life.
The mother who represents the perfectionism, wants everything to appear to be normal. She thinks Conrad’ s suicide attempt wanted to hurt her, and she doesn’t know how to deal with it and how to really show affection to him. She seems to have lost this part of herself and doesn’t want to make efforts to regain her parenthood skills.The movie in general unfolds the story of Conrad whom deals with
