Film/TV rec: Century of the Self

I just saw a really interesting film (actually it is a 4-part documentary series for TV, but they showed it in one of the art house theaters here in SF) called "Century of the Self." The show traces the history of psychoanalysis but with an emphasis on its social, business and political impacts, including how the Liberal parties of today here in the U.S. and abroad are seemingly shooting themselves in the foot by using its techniques to try to respond to the strong current of individualism.

It's 4 hours part but well worth the watch... for people in San Francisco, it is showing at the Roxie evenings through Thursday.
