 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" explores the path of this evolving relationship and the intriguing reasons for Dr. Zurmer s sudden change of method - and of heart.
