    she seemed soooo stuffy and even her advice was so lame. Who the hell was that woman? Some old-time hollywood actress? I smirk whenever I hear her say, "What did you think, Bree, I could just wave a magic wand and take away your problems?" Hella lameBree was still turnin' tricks just so she could give the hag a hundred bucks an hour, but I guess the shrink didn't care about that.

      Why do you think she's stuffy? She's seeing a call-girl as a client and not making any judgement on her (she could have refused to take her on) so how is she stuffy?
      Who'd you think Bree would have gone to otherwise? An in-house brothel psychiatrist?

          From what I've heard, most shrinks are more in need of help than their clients (LOLOLOL!).

            You got one of the many meanings of the movie.
            The shrink also helped to add more psychology to the movie.

              I do think it's interesting that Bree settled on a female shrink rather than a conventional bearded Freudian male.
              I am in a blissful state, so don't bug me.

                  I think it subtly makes the point that Bree's life is a prison made by men - her pimp, her customers, her stalker, casting agentsthe choice of a female pyschiatrist is an effort to break out of that cycle.

                      Poor Breea victim of the male conspiracy. Of course she had absolutely no control over her own choices or behavior.

                            Having the psychiatrist be a woman was Jane Fonda's idea. She didn't think that the Bree we meet at the beginning of the film would trust a azman enough to open up to him emotionally.
                            .

                              True, Fonda insisted on the psychiatrist being a woman and she is in half shadow throughout the film just an ideal device for Bree to speak aloud her conflicts etc.

                                The OP is probably very young and surprised that the lady psychiatrist didn't act like a bubbly Valley girl type.instead acting like what a real female psychiatrist would have acted like 45 years ago.
                                The bad news is you have houseguests. There is no good news.

                                  It might have been better to not have shown the psychiatrist at all and just have had Fonda talk to the camera.

                                        It looked like she was sitting in a chair at a right angle to Bree's, so she had to turn her head all the way to the right when she talked to Bree.
                                        Wasn't she sitting in a swivel armchair, so she could turn and rest her elbow on her desk while talking to Bree? This didn't seem odd to me.

                                          hi rhinestone~ i finally rented this flic on dvd after always catching just the ending on tvenjoyed it! regarding the shrink, i agree she looked very old-fashioned for even then! but one thing to keep in mind was, it came out in '71, probably was shot in '70& fashions was jumping from the 60's into the 70's. the shrink was attired in the look of the past decade/60's(60's were more lacquered & artificial while early 70's become more natural, no heavy hairspray, no girdles & sometimes no bras. bree was younger & wearing a new natural shaggy hairdo, no bra & a more hippy-ish look, midis, etc. even in the model go-see in the beginning of the film, bree is the only one w/her hair like that, no bra, natural or not much makeup. so basically, the old chick "was livin' in the past, man"-LOL
