“An innovative and emotional new series, ‘In Treatment’ brings dynamic focus to a staple of modern society – the psychotherapy session.”
In this clip, “In Treatment”, takes a closer look at Melissa George’s character, Laura.”
This series is a wonderful way to take a deeper look at Enneagram Types and Subtypes. The character of Laura is an exquisite example of the Enneagram Type 4, and in particular the one to one, intimacy driven sexual subtype of 4.
Starring Russell Crowe (
8
) and Christian Bale this is a wonderful portrayal of Enneagram Type 8. Russell plays a type 8, outlaw Ben Wade who is leading a crew of thieves and gunslingers. His cool nonchalance in the face of danger, his clear command and constant verbal provocation with a code of honor all his own add up to a master portrayal of
type 8
. His men are fiercely loyal, no betrayal is tolerated and is punishable by death. When Ben Wade finds out that rancher Dan played by Christian Bale is truly weak and innocent he begins to protect him even at great personal cost.As we often say, 8s, no matter how bad they may be, (Ben Wade describes himself as black and rotten as hell) are always protecting someone or something. That is the very nature of
type 8
. 8s are the black knight… they protect the weak, downtrodden and underrepresented. Here we see Ben Wade protect the innocent even if it means turning on his own crew.Russell Crowe is also playing a sexual subtype of 8. Intimate taunts are a way in which sexual 8s make connection. The way in which Wade speaks of cherished memories sheds light on the hidden, vulnerable side of 8 that can be quite sensitive and maudlin. At one point, Wade says that it is man’s nature to take what he wants. This comment addresses the world view of type 8.The 8 is a ‘bell whether’ type on the enneagram that calls off unspoken, universal truths. Ironically, with the awareness of innate human weaknesses, the 8 is profoundly impacted, and respects the strength of those willing to suffer or die for what they believe in.

‘There Will Be Blood’ starring Daniel Day-Lewis, is an excellent movie exemplifying the self-preserving subtype with the enneagram trifix of 135. The dominant
type is 5
. Most importantly, we can see Daniel as a
self-preserving
5 that has given up on faith and love. His external world is matching his internal landscape that is filled with dry, desert-like depression. Watch the trailer
