It was helpful!

As a psychiatrist and also a great movie fan, I always eagered for a book which reviews movies from the viewpoint of 'pschoanalysis'. At last I found this book. What I liked most about this book is that it covers recent movies, like 'Good Will Hunting' or '12 Monkeys', which are my favorites. The stories of the reflected images and their changes throughout the film history of the psychiatrists who appeared in the movies were also interesting.
