Film Series

For the past several years, the Denver Psychoanalytic Society has offered a program to the community based on a wonderful partnership between the world of psychoanalysis and the world of film.  Previously, this series has featured the combined expertise of analysts with the expertise of local film critics.

There will be no film series in the 2007-2008 academic year.
