:32:02
The camera shoots
through a pane of glass...
:32:06
which renders it
relatively unobtrusive.
:32:08
The noise of the motor
is a problem.
:32:11
This is muffled with a blanket
and anything else handy.
:32:15
From this cramped
vantage point...
:32:17
photographer Paul Deghuee
will record...
:32:19
the famous
White Room Sessions--
:32:21
a remarkable document
in the history of psychotherapy.
:32:26
By today's standards...
:32:27
the White Room Sessions
would seem very primitive...
:32:31
and yet they were
really quite effective...
:32:35
in developing a very strong
personal relation...
:32:39
between doctor and patient.
:32:41
The question whether
Zelig was a psychotic...
:32:44
or merely extremely neurotic...
:32:47
was a question
that was endlessly discussed...
:32:51
among us doctors.
:32:53
I myself felt that
his feelings were really...
:32:58
not all that different
from the normal...
:33:00
maybe what one would call...
:33:02
the well-adjusted
normal person...
:33:04
only carried
to an extreme degree...
:33:07
to an extreme extent.
:33:09
I myself felt that one could...
:33:12
really think of him
as the ultimate conformist.
:33:19
Leonard, do you know
why you're here?
:33:24
To discuss psychiatry, right?
:33:26
You're a doctor?
:33:28
Yes, I am.
:33:30
Perhaps you've read
my latest paper...
:33:33
on delusional paranoia.
:33:35
Turns out
the entire thing is mental.
:33:38
Suppose I tell you
you're not a doctor.
:33:44
I would say
that you're making a joke.
:33:49
Incidentally, is it
always so bright in here?
:33:52
I'm recording these sessions
on film, if you don't mind.
:33:56
There's somebody
behind there, right?
:33:58
That's right.
That's a camera.
