Film critic Ian Nathan now turns his attention to the pitch-black classic Ealing comedy, The Ladykillers (the film itself is currently streaming on ITVX). Marie Gentles, Behaviour Expert, who featured in the series explained that the cornerstones of behavioural change lie in attachment, safety, boundaries and communication and reiterated that behaviour changes can only be made when these are seen as symptoms and the underlying causes are the area of focus.
