Each year the Dallas Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology (DSPP) invites the community to discuss a movie from a psychoanalytic perspective. This year the discussion will center on Tony Soprano's psychotherapy with Dr. Melfi in "The Sopranos". After viewing portions of several segments from the show's first HBO season, a panel and audience discussion will explore the storyline's ethical, legal, and sexual issues. Susan Herman, MD will moderate this year's forum.

DSPP's annual film forums focus upon the relationship between psychoanalytic theory and the visual and performing arts. The film forum events are organized by DSPP's Arts Committee and underwritten by the DSPP Community Relations Committee.
