And, if you missed yesterday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s show, not to worry \u00e2\u20ac\u201c we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll fill you in. The Century of the Self is a four-hour tour-de-force that focuses on the history of psychoanalysis in the US, starting with the theories of Sigmund Freud and those who followed him. Today we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll explore that history through the words of Adam Curtis, whom many of you may remember as the film maker of the extremely popular documentary The Power of Nightmares. BBC producer and film maker, Adam Curtis\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 other meticulously documented and powerfully presented documentary, The Century of the Self is part of our \u00e2\u20ac\u0153thank you gift\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to you today. In a four part, four-hour series created for the BBC, Curtis details the impact of Freud\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s theories on the perception of the human mind, and the ways public relations agencies and politicians have used this during the last 100 years for their \u00e2\u20ac\u0153engineering of consent\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>Among the main characters in the film are Freud himself and his nephew Edward Bernays, who was the first to use psychological techniques in advertising. He is often seen as the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153father of the public relations industry\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Freud\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s daughter Anna Freud, a pioneer of child psychology, is mentioned in the second part, as well as Wilhelm Reich, one of the main opponents of Freud\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s theories. Along these general themes, The Century of the Self asks deeper questions about the roots and methods of modern consumerism, representative democracy and its implications. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sonali Six-Pack, End of Funddrive Blowout &#8211; available online <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kpfk.org\/pledge\/catalog\/product_info.php\/products_id\/790?osCsid=a952cd945c334f5185610033f1fd6e0c\">here<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
