Old Film About A Mental Hospital

[crisgal]

Does anyone know what this film could be?
Black and white - possibly 40s - I think Olivia De Havilland or similar type. She played a young woman who was sent to a mental hospital but i can't remember why!
The end is where she is better and being discharged. The doctor asks her why she thinks she is cured, and she replies:
'Because I'm not in love with you anymore'

My brother explained 'transference' to me at the time, but I was very young and would love to see it again.

The Snake pit. I think it was on TV not long ago

Sounds a good watch that Sandy.

It wasn't bad but I think 'One flew over the cuckoos nest' might be closer to reality

[crisgal]

oh wow! you are so clever - thank you!

[Mamyalynne]

Ah yes, more than likely.

One flew over the Cuckoos nest is pretty much like a meeting at our Bipolar group. We gave up having them in the end.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh Wolf.

I think tThe Snake Pit was set in a private sanatorium. They must get a 'better class' of mental health patients.
I visited regularly for almost a year a patient in a NHS mental health hospital. They seem to me to be very sad places.

The only thing nice about our local looney bin is that the grounds are huge and peaceful. I am not sure what is happening now but houses and selling of buildings were mentioned.

I'm sorry to hear that wolf, but I can understand, I have had experience of the difficulties involved.

Wharton - looking on the bright side I am no longer able to work. The civil service were not at all sad to see me go.

Not everyone retires at 40 (in 2003) and gets their pension.

Transference - you fall in love with your therapist / doctor
Freud - he said it happened every time.

I always mix it upit with displacement - fidddling with a pencil rather than ciggie

as Freud might have said to me: 'you are confused'
