    August 9 - Little Miss Sunshine (2006): This is a surprisingly heartwarming dark comedy that premiered at Sundance Film Festival and was later nominated for four Academy Awards.

    It tells the story of a family on an 800-mile road trip in a broken-down van, traveling to the Little Miss Sunshine beauty contest. It captures how far people will go to disavow unwanted aspects of themselves and others, the cost of such a stunted existence, and the greater energy and strength of integrating the unacceptable.

    Sally Davis, PhD, is a psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice. She teaches and supervises as a faculty member at the Center for Psychoanalytic Studies and as adjunct clinical faculty of the Baylor College of Medicine. She is past president of the Houston Psychoanalytic Society.
