We are excited to announce the introduction of ECPS’s Psychoanalytic Film Club!
You’ll have the opportunity to watch a film specifically chosen by an experienced Presenter, who will introduce the film and share some ideas and thoughts. This will be followed by a group discussion on the Psychoanalytic underpinnings of the film.
With this taking place in our training centre, you are welcome to bring some snacks and drink to enjoy. You can attend as many showings as you wish to, with each costing £35.
This is open to trainees and qualified Counsellors/Psychotherapists, as well as friends and family who also share an enjoyment for analysing films!
We look forward to you joining us on this new venture and hope you enjoy taking part.
