(An APPI/IFPP/Independent Colleges Event)

Jan 31^st/February 1^st 2014

This continuing professional development course provides a space in which to indulge our love of cinema in the context of psychoanalytic theory.

This group is open to anyone with an interest in psychoanalysis and film. It will be of particular interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and counsellors, in addition to academics and postgraduate students who work on psychoanalytic theory and/or cultural studies.
