Dear Anne,
I had the same sentiments and asked Allegra personally about access to the
film. She was very open about distribution. Given her openness I
approached a member of the Marian Chase Foundation to look into possible
reproductions of the film. I will double check to see how things are
progressing. I'm assuming Allegra's presentation will be in an upcoming
volume of the AJDT.
Best Regards,
Beth Lucchi, Psy.D., ADTR, LCSW
