초록

Mourning has been an important theme in the history of psychoanalysis. Life is interrupted by a series of losses and mourning. This paper attempts a psychoanalytic analysis of various mourning responses to losses in the film “The Father,” which details the inner life of a character who loses his memory due to dementia and the characters facing their own or others’ aging and death. The following are the main findings of this study: 1) Anne’s mourning over her separation from her father Anthony can be understood as aggressive phantasies and ambivalence; 2) Anthony’s mourning over his separation from Anne shows the process of moving from a paranoid-schizoid position to a depressive position; 3) Anthony’s mourning over his aging and death shows a narcissistic collapse; and 4) Anthony’s mourning over Lucy’s death is an example of an unmourned loss. There are also therapeutic implications for therapists working with patients in the mourning stage.

Abstract

Mourning has been an important theme in the history of psychoanalysis. Life is interrupted by a series of losses and mourning. This paper attempts a psychoanalytic analysis of various mourning responses to losses in the film “The Father,” which details the inner life of a character who loses his memory due to dementia and the characters facing their own or others’ aging and death. The following are the main findings of this study: 1) Anne’s mourning over her separation from her father Anthony can be understood as aggressive phantasies and ambivalence; 2) Anthony’s mourning over his separation from Anne shows the process of moving from a paranoid-schizoid position to a depressive position; 3) Anthony’s mourning over his aging and death shows a narcissistic collapse; and 4) Anthony’s mourning over Lucy’s death is an example of an unmourned loss. There are also therapeutic implications for therapists working with patients in the mourning stage.
