Good Will Hunting is a film that explores themes of mental health and trauma recovery among survivors. This study employs Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis to examine the representation of trauma healing by uncovering both denotative and connotative meanings embedded in symbols, dialogues, and visual elements within the therapeutic interactions between the characters Will Hunting and Sean Maguire. A descriptive qualitative method is utilized, incorporating semiotic analysis to identify verbal and non-verbal signs in key scenes of the film. The findings indicate that therapeutic communication in the film is depicted through four phases: orientation, identification, exploration, and resolution. Core principles of therapeutic communication—such as empathy, openness, emotional validation, and respect—emerge as essential components contributing to the effectiveness of the therapy. This research offers insights into the role of therapeutic communication in trauma recovery and highlights the potential of film as an effective medium for mental health education. These findings hold relevance for the development of empathetic communication approaches in addressing the needs of trauma survivors. date: 2025 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50547/3/SYAKILA%20ALFITA%20RAHMI_6662210122_Fulltext.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50547/4/SYAKILA%20ALFITA%20RAHMI_6662210122_01.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50547/5/SYAKILA%20ALFITA%20RAHMI_6662210122_02.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50547/6/SYAKILA%20ALFITA%20RAHMI_6662210122_03.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50547/7/SYAKILA%20ALFITA%20RAHMI_6662210122_04.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50547/8/SYAKILA%20ALFITA%20RAHMI_6662210122_05.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50547/9/SYAKILA%20ALFITA%20RAHMI_6662210122_Ref.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50547/10/SYAKILA%20ALFITA%20RAHMI_6662210122_Lamp.pdf identifier: RAHMI, SYAKILA ALFITA (2025) REPRESENTASI PENYEMBUHAN TRAUMA MELALUI KOMUNIKASI TERAPEUTIK DALAM FILM “GOOD WILL HUNTING”.
