Consider the Conversation Documentary As part of the continuing behavioral science series put on by the psychology department, we will be showing a video called ?Consider the Conversation?. This documentary takes an in depth look at end of life decisions. It shows end of life decisions from the point of view of the patient, family members, doctors and a variety of other people involved in end of life care. The film is meant to spur on conversations between patients, doctors, family members and the like about end of life decisions. This film is also meant to help people understand that death does not have to be such a taboo subject, but rather it is an important conversation to have when dealing with the illness or death of a loved one. The video showing will be followed by a talk by Dr. Marasco, a psychologist who specializes in palliative care and bereavement at transitions professional center in Portland, of which she is the founder. She will talk about end of life decisions and her take on it. After her talk there will be a short question and answer session as well.
