Synopsis
Marianne Loewe, a recently divorced, rather uptight college professor
is undergoing analysis with the elderly Dr. Anya Zurmer, a strict
Freudian. About a month into Marianne’s analysis, Dr. Zurmer
suddenly chooses to abandon the rigid rules of psychoanalysis which
have always guided her work. Marianne’s relationship to Dr.
Zurmer then becomes totally unorthodox and baffling to her and,
for a while, to us. “Psychoanalysis Changed My Life” humorously
explores the path of this evolving relationship and the intriguing
reasons for Dr. Zurmer’s sudden change of method - and of
heart.
