Movies affect us powerfully because the combined impact of music, dialogue, lighting, camera angles, and sound effects enables a film to bypass ordinary defensive censors in us. They draw us into the viewing experience, but at the same time - often more easily than in real life - afford a unique opportunity to retain a perspective outside the experience, the observer's view.
Cinema Therapy takes advantage of a movie's impact and teaches watching films with conscious awareness. Like dream work, inquiries into emotional responses to movies open a window to our soul.
This first-of-its-kind program offers the unique opportunity to receive a comprehensive education in Cinema Therapy. The course teaches how the power of movies affects in the therapeutic process of adults as well as children and adolescents. Students also learn about transformational effects of films through Positive Cinema Therapy. It includes three (3) online courses, a 20 minute interview with Dr. Birgit Wolz and an extensive listing of therapeutic themes and relevant movies.
