LADY IN THE DARK (with Ginger Rogers as a neurotic executive. Most of
the Kurt Weill songs except "Poor Jenny" were cut. It's been called the
most sexist film of all time--but that's probably unfair when there are
so many candidates for the title)
For musicals also see ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER (Streisand seems
to have made this her favorite genre. There's also NUTS)
I'm surprised no one's mentioned Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND (unless I missed
it), where the therapist is the patient!
Then there are all those evil shrinks in Raymond Chandler novels and
adaptations. I believe that Mickey Spillane's I THE JURY and its film
version (starring Biff Elliott) has an evil *woman* shrink.
Do you want only Hollywood films? Bergman has several films in this area,
especially FACE TO FACE, where Liv Ullman is a shrink who flips.
Also the John Huston biopic FREUD, with Montgomery Clift.
For historical farce/pastiche, see THE SEVEN PER-CENT SOLUTION, where
Sherlock Holmes is analyzed by Freud himself.

"Hmm. I wonder what she *really* meant by that."
