Space Between Words, The: Family

Synopsis: Families can go on for years without a serious talk of any kind. When crisis comes - death, divorce, bankruptcy - members may discover that they have never really understood one another. For the Browns (this is not their real name), the London family in the film,the mother’s earlier divorce began a series of problems for her teenage son. The family tries to discover how these difficulties developed, helped by a family therapist, Dr Aaron Esterson. Despite the emotional nature of the film, the Brown family volunteered to take part in the hope that sharing their experience might help other families. Though the approach is now dated the film is important in showing the work of Esterson in the development of family therapy.
