September (noun) : the month in the northern hemisphere when all the analysts who were on holiday during the month of August, return en masse to their analysands (who have now added 'separation anxiety' to their list of ailments)
__________________________________________________________

We in the Northern hemisphere know that our summer holidays are over when the last long weekend holiday (Labor Day) arrives in early September and the therapists return. The release of Cronenberg's new movie, "A Dangerous Method" about Freud and Jung in the early 1900s coincides with this return.

(And maybe the new FoxTV show, "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" set to begin just before the holiday season also is no coincidence - the number of therapy sessions increase over the holidays largely in part due to family stress.)

Some non-therapeutic factoids about September from Wikipedia (for what it's worth) -
(1) the beginning of the meteorological autumn is 1 September in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of spring in the Southern hemisphere;
(2) in Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh" and September was the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC;
(3) September begins on the same day of the week as December every year, because there are 91 days separating September and December, which is a multiple of seven (the number of days in the week); and,
(4) no other month ends on the same day of the week as September in any year.
