“Shrinking”, the jagged line that divides those who give and those who receive psychological help

A series with Harrison Ford (yes, him again): a courageous role with white hair, an uncertain gait and a cup of coffee that shakes a little in the hand. But like any good series, this one too is distributed with one episode a week: a choice that looks like a trick

The psychoanalyst is to the patient what concave madness is to convex madness, said Karl Kraus. The sharpest language in Vienna at the beginning of the twentieth century, where Sigmund Freud had invented and experimented with psychoanalysis. It would be nice, a clear line that divides those who have the tools and those who need them (in the sense of care). Unfortunately the line is terribly jagged, like a puzzle piece. Along these lines, showrunners Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein built the “Shrinking” series on Apple TV. Jason Segel puts his face on it as a psychoanalyst, together with the more mature Harrison Ford. The eternal Indiana Jones, 80 years old: the next film with the whip and the hat will be in theaters at the end of June, “Indiana Jones and the wheel of destiny”. Here he has a quieter job, wears comfortable shoes with insoles, and has his own methods for dealing with the aches and pains of age: crying on the sofa, accompanied by sad songs. After 15 minutes the alarm goes off, and the sadness has passed.
