The Other represents our inability to relate to someone or something we perceive as radically, insurmountably different from ourselves. The Other is often personified as a villain in stories, but we also see people with psychological disorders as Other when we treat them as if they're completely different from us. This section includes a selection of Other images from fiction and history.
Advertisers and retailers sometimes unknowingly reference or perpetuate inaccuracies associated with psychological disorders, treatments, and therapists. Because we're exposed to so many of these images, sometimes we don't realize which portrayals reflect modern psychological practices.

Sam Foster (McGregor) is a psychiatrist (though he actually seems to be doing a psychologist's job) who's racing the clock and his own failing grip on reality to keep Henry Latham (Gosling) from committing suicide. Since Sam's girlfriend, Lila Culpepper (Watts) once made a suicide attempt, Sam has a lot of emotional investment in stopping Henry.
