State University of New York at Stony Brook Stony Brook, NY 10025 Krin Gabbard Associate Professor Comparative Literature 212 749-1631 29-Sep-1994 05:47pm EDT FROM: KGABBARD TO: Remote Addressee ( [log in to unmask] ) Subject: Client-therapist interactions Dear Naomi, Virtually all of the films listed in the various messages so far, at least the ones before 1986, are discussed, often at length, in my book, _Psychiatry and the Cinema_ (University of Chicago Press, 1987). I wrote the book with my brother, Glen O. Gabbard, a practicing psychoanalyst. We tried to look at the material both as Hollywood product and as representations of the actual transferential and countertransferential relationships in therapy. For a more recent, feminist reading of some of the same films, take a look at Janet Walker, _Couching Resistance_ (Univ. of Minnesota Press, 1993). With the intention of some day updating _Psychiatry and the Cinema_, I have been keeping a file of films with some kind of mental health professional since the book went to press. I'll be happy to share it with you, but I leave day after tomorrow for Italy, and I'll be gone for 3 weeks. I'm just about to set Screen-L for "nomail." If you can wait that long, ring me when you get back, and I'll be happy to help you out. Therapeutically yours, Krin Gabbard SUNY Stony Brook (212) 749-1631
