Thursday, September 15h - Taking Lives - Rated R - Under 18 not allowed.

FBI agent (Angelina Jolie) brings her unique skills (and brooding, low-key demeanor) to the vexing case of a killer who, out of apparent self-loathing, steals the identities of his victims and lives their lives until it's time for the next gruesome murder. Ethan Hawke plays the killer's alleged next victim, and in a film filled with twistsKeifer Sutherland is menacingly cast as a shifty suspect.

Discussion following the movie will be outstanding and will address the following concepts:
Nature vs. Nurture Debate
Sociopathy
Working with Clients and Betrayal
The Psychology of Law Enforcement

We'll make popcorn and have a few extra treats available. Bring your own (non-alcoholic) beverage if you want something other than water or caffeine-free soft drinks.

Seating is limited, so reserve your spot NOW!

*(It is each professional's responsibility to determine if a structured discussion about a mental health topic, lead by a licensed psychologist, will qualify as continuing education. It counts as Level II CE's for Arizona psychologists.)

Future offerings will include:

Oct. 20 - A Day Without a Mexican - One morning California wakes up to find that one third of it's population has disappeared. A thick fog surrounds the State and communication outside it's boundaries is completely cut off. As the day goes by, we discover that the characteristic that links the 14 million disappeared is their Hispanic background.

Nov. 10 - I Heart Huckabees - An existential comedy, I Heart Huckabees dares to ponder life's biggest questions. We focus on the unlikely pairing of an environmentalist (Jason Schwartzman) and a firefighter (Mark Wahlberg) as they depend on existential detectives (Lily Tomlin, Dustin Hoffman) and a French nihilist (Isabelle Huppert) to make sense of their existential crises, brought on (respectively) by a two-faced chain-store executive (Jude Law) and his spokesmodel girlfriend (Naomi Watts). I Heart Huckabees is an audacious mess, like life itself, and accepting that is the key to enjoying both.

Dec. 15 -K-Pax- Jeff Bridges plays a psychiatrist who thinks he's seen it all until he's assigned to analyze Prot (Kevin Spacey), a patient who claims to be from a planet called K-PAX. Powell is convinced that Prot is delusional, but his cynicism turns to fascination as Prot's case reveals a combination of otherworldly insight and all-too-human trauma, prompting an earthbound explanation for Prot's allegedly alien origins.

Jan. 19 - Monster
Feb. 9 - Save the Date
