The following is a brief description of the seminars which will be offered.
Psychotherapy and cinema (OPQ# RA00363-13) 9 credits
The work of psychotherapists is done in private with only the client. Direct observations of sessions for supervisory purposes are impossible both for issues of practicality and ethics, yet therapists desire and need to share experiences with colleagues for purposes of supervision and self-development. Case discussions with colleagues, are useful but self-reports are marred with subjectivity and fall short of all parties directly observing the same client experience. There is a real need for psychotherapists and their colleagues’ to have a common experience around which to share perspectives on the psychodynamics, the transference and countertransference of the therapeutic work. Cinema as a teaching tool provides this potential. The cinema uses psychologically interesting feature films where the cases are fictional characters to give psychotherapists the shared case for discussion.
