Gone Girl: Betrayal, Identity Developmen...

Popcorn Psychology
About this episode
We finally did it! We are talking about Gone Girl!! This is a very special episode for two reasons. Firstly, we have a special guest, Rachel Harrison, an art therapist and our friend who did the art for our logo. Secondly, It’s a pATREON patron requested video! Don’t forgot, one of the perks for becoming a top tier patron is the privilege of picking the subject of an episode. In this episode, we discuss the betrayals of trust seen throughout the film. We also discuss the development of identity, specifically with Amy and the Amazing Amy books as well as the concept of the Cool Girl. Give it a listen and don’t forgot to not smile in front of your wife’s missing poster.
