Rezensionen
"Dr. Fatemi's book has provided a landmark contribution in the field, illustrating how films can be potentially valuable in psychotherapeutic settings. Clinicians as well as researchers will benefit from the comprehensive, pertinent literature and creative concepts, such movies and how they can pertain to psychoanalysis, relationships and development, mindfulness, and learning modules. Implementing films in psychotherapy offers invaluable avenues in the therapeutic process, and at provide unique and diverse points of entry in mental health care." -Bruce Kirkcaldy, PhD, FBPsS, director, International Center for the Study of Occupational and Mental Health, Düsseldorf, Germany

"In this milestone book, Sayyed Mohsen Fatemi takes us on an existentially informed cinematic journey. We are guided through a series of reflections about how films can foster mindfulness; a "psychology of possibility," for readers suffering from a myriad of conditions. Fatemi shows how great cinema can provide people who have over-identified with parts of themselves to open to a larger and more enlivened outlook. I highly recommend this book for anyone who works with, suffers from, and inquiries into a deeper dimension of living." -Kirk Schneider, PhD, adjunct faculty, Saybrook University and Teachers College, Columbia University; author of The Polarized Mind, Awakening to Awe, and Horror and the Holy: Wisdom-teachings of the Monster Tale.

"Dr. Sayyed Mohsen Fatemi details how multifarious layers of a film have the potential to elucidate the possibility of describing, explaining, analyzing, interpreting and deciphering the dynamics of the psyche. He offers a broad assortment of film therapy strategies and techniques that may be used with a wide range of clients and mental health issues, including the use of film in psychoanalysis, mindfulness training, relationship enhancement, and social and emotional development." - Edward Kruk, MSW, PhD, president, International Council on Shared Parenting; associate professor, The University of British Columbia, School of Social Work
