Psychoanalysis and the Media (Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Volume 46 Number 2)

The seven insightful essays in this collection, give us much to think about in our efforts to understand how psychoanalysis is portrayed in film, television, and literature. Contributors to this written symposium were invited to express their views on how psychoanalysis is currently portrayed in the media and why they believe these particular representations have developed. Responses could include a historical or analytic overviews or focus on a particular work of art. Four questions were offered to guide the contrinuters, but they were free to concentrate on any aspect of the representations of psychoanalysis they felt most relevant.
