Bringing Out the Dead Assignment
I am having a hard time deciding on if Frank is a hero or a zero. At certain points in the movie he could be one of the two. I feel that Frank does wants to help people, but is plagued by burnout and hallucinations. He drinks on the job, takes drugs, and even berates a failed suicide patient, which I feel a zero.

Review Of The Client Practitioner By Skovholt

355 Words | 2 Pages

Skovholt (2008) introduces the definition of burnout in this chapter of his book The resilient Practitioner and explains why it is critical to the therapeutic relationship to avoid it. He begins by defining “compassion fatigue” from Figley (1995. p.7) as the behaviors and emotions resulting from knowing about a traumatic event experienced by someone else and the resulting stress from wanting to or helping this person.

Art of Film: Dead Man The Film Dead Man starring Jonny Depp, a classic western with cowboys, guns, horses, and Indians, I personally thought the film was quite strange, however I did enjoy the soundtrack, the single guitar with the unique patterns that matched the situations and motions perfectly, even though I am not a huge fan of westerns as a genre I will agree that the movie was pretty different from a normal westerns. In the beginning of the movie the main character William Blake (Johnny Depp) is shown on a train with other people like him, well dressed and proper, as the train takes us to Blakes destination the scenery goes from looking like a life filled prairie with fields and trees and slowly with each location it gets more and more desolate and alarming.
