Freud

2020

The Austrian-German crime television series, Freud (2020) on (Netflix), features a young woman who is in foster care.

Fleur Salome (Ella Rumpf) is a psychic medium living with foster parents Sophia and Viktor von Szapary. Fleur's psychic powers are used by the von Szapary's to gain money and social standing.

Fleur has 2 personalities - one which is sweet and nice, and the other which is controlling and violent.

Some say Fleur is based on Lou Andreas-Salome, a Russian born psychoanalyst and friend of Freud's (who was not in foster care as a child).

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
