ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses two sets of related issues: that of the interrelations between so-called pure psychoanalysis and applied psychoanalysis; and that of the interrelations between psychoanalysis in the training institutes and in the universities. For Anna Freud, the universities had everything to gain by including psychoanalysis in the curriculum, in both medical and academic education. The chapter reviews the major confluences that have taken place between psychoanalysis, cinema, and film studies since the inception of each at the end of the last century. Particularly noticeable is the gap between the theoretical studies and the clinical situation. It is instructive to consider the interrelations between psychoanalysis, cinema, and film studies in terms of the study of psychoanalysis in the cinema; the psychoanalytic study of the cinema; the role of film in the teaching of psychoanalysis; and the role of film in the psychoanalytic process.
