Beyond Diagnosis: Representing the Hotline in The Slender Thread

Hannah Zeavin

Summary: By revisiting the lesser-known film "The Slender Thread" from 1965, this article argues that its portrayal of the suicide hotline reflects concerns about psychiatric care, race, and gender during the mid-20th century. The film depicts a critical moment in the history of suicide hotlines, when the focus shifted towards treatment and punishment while attempting to maintain the appearance of supportive care.
