    Everyone has an experience of film, a film you love or hate, a film that makes you feel good, bad, or ugly.  A film to make you laugh, cry, or fall in or out of love.  A film that makes you think.  Film also becomes part of the space for dreaming in the psychoanalytic session and in our own and our patients’ lives.  This course studies the psychology of cinema from a psychoanalytic perspective and explores what we can learn about the mind, culture, and society through the movies.

    Joseph Dodds, PhD, is a psychoanalyst (IPA), Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol, BPS), Psychotherapist (UKCP), and senior psychology lecturer (AAU, UNYP).  He is author of Psychoanalysis and Ecology at the Edge of Chaos: Complexity Theory, Deleuze, Guattari, and Psychoanalysis for a Climate in Crisis (Routledge, 2011).  His research includes psychoanalytic approaches to art, film, neuroscience, society, and climate change.
