Cinema both reflects life and contours life-that is its
psychological power. And for decades, clinicians and educators have
recognized the value of this power, using it to respectively heal
in therapy and educate in the classroom. The Cinematic Mirror for
Psychology and Life Coaching mines the illustrative value of
cinema, offering therapists and life coaches access to ideas that
can motivate and enlighten clients.
Although many movie guides exist, this volume complements the
available literature by adding positive psychology, mental health,
and wellness perspectives to the clinical/educational/coaching mix.
The serious intent to cull from cinema its underlying psychological
value has motivated noted clinicians, life coaches, and cultural
critics to offer science-based analysis and intervention
strategies. Readers may add their own movie insights and
professional expertise to this rich foundation. The volume covers
international as well as domestic cinema in a variety of genres,
providing a range of film choices relevant to clients' lives.
Beyond this, it expands on universal concepts of strengths,
capabilities, and coping methods. Chapters in The Cinematic Mirror:
analyze how movies can create and relieve trauma, challenge
Hollywood's portrayal of the American family, overview the use of
movies to examine relationships in therapy, explore the acclaimed
Up television cinema verite series as studies in personal growth
and social change, reinterprets images of disability in terms of
positive psychology, examines models, or the lack thereof, for the
American adolescent rite of passage, traces the history of mental
illness stereotypes in film.
The collective wisdom found in The Cinematic Mirror for
Psychology and Life Coaching will bring professionals involved in
healing, coaching, counseling, education, and mentoring not only
new applications but new appreciation for the transformative power
of film. That power already exists. Readers just have to "SEE"
it.
