About this book

This essential is dedicated to the connection between psychoanalysis and film. Psychoanalysis is suitable for a methodically guided film viewing. This is not an application of psychoanalytical theory, but rather an application of its method of a reflected relationship to a counterpart. In this way, latent meanings can be taken into consideration and an interpretation can be developed. This essential reconstructs the possibilities of such an approach and presents existing approaches. Finally, a guideline for carrying out a film psychoanalytical interpretation is proposed. Numerous film examples serve to illustrate this.


The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
