Screening & Discussion of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation Helen K. Gediman, PhD
Wednesday, May 23, 2018 7:30 – 10:00 pm The Marianne and Nicholas Young Auditorium 247 East 82nd Street, NYC

Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 masterpiece, The Conversation, is the brilliant forerunner of films in the surveillance stalking genre in which professionals are paid to stalk. The incomparable Gene Hackman portrays a schizoid private investigator whose personality deteriorates under work-related personal guilt that breaks through his characteristic dissociative defenses. The surveillance technology of the Watergate era that sustain his fragile persona is uncannily prescient of present-day omnipresent hacking in Cyberspace. For chills and thrills in great cinema, come one and all.

In a time of increasing Balkanization and narrowing of psychoanalysis, Helen Gediman’s work offers a richly textured, integrative perspective. This volume covers a multitude of topics, demonstrating Dr. Gediman’s broad and deep experience. Most striking is how her unflagging theoretical curiosity and thoughtful simultaneous engagement with her patients comes across. Since the papers in this book span 50 years, we can also share in her responses to changes and evolution in the field. It is a treat to revisit relatively understudied areas Dr. Gediman has brought into their rightful prominence in our understanding, such as lying and imposture, and the role of multiple relationships in training. Both dipping in and studying this whole book will richly reward the reader.
