Caversham Productions is a Toronto-based company that specializes in creating materials that educate about psychoanalysis, its history and its present lifeforms. We are not a book publisher, but we make materials in other media, including print media, that will be useful in classrooms-in universities, and in psychoanalytic training institutes-and to individuals who are learning about psychoanalysis by studying it, by practicing it, by undergoing it. When you go to an art museum, you experience the works there in whatever way you want, and then you find that in the art museum's store there are resources to guide you in thinking about what you've experienced or going back for another look; to supplement your experience with videos, CD's, posters; to offer you mementos of your experience; to suggest ways you can connect up with other works by the artists you've met or explore them in other venues and media. Caversham Productions is a museum store for psychoanalysis.

Our first production, which we think of as the basic production -a map of the museum, is a timeline of the history of psychoanalysis from 1900 to 2000. You'll find it described and its own little history presented elsewhere on this site. We have in various stages of planning and production a series of posters, a series of psychoanalytic films -that is, films made by psychoanalysts since the end of the Second World War, mostly in the area of child development-and a series of short pamphlets on historical figures in psychoanalysis who have been lost and deserve reclaiming. We will be making documentary interview films with current psychoanalysts about psychoanalysis and its history. But Caversham Productions is also going to be "the producer" in the movie business sense for people who are doing things like making psychoanalytic movies. You can meet a brilliant example of such a person under Coming Attractions [click here]. We are primarily oriented toward the history of psychoanalysis, but, like any museum store, we want also to promote the continuation of that history in the present and for the future.
