Book Description
Popcorn tub ready. Phone on silent. Back reclined. Lights dim. Let the magic begin! The Indian cinema has a power over us like no other. Be it the cast, the songs, the story, or the message, film-viewing as an experience is much more than just for ‘entertainment, entertainment, and entertainment’. Be it a good movie or bad, we love to discuss, debate, and analyse. There is no denying that they stay with us for a long time, because bade-bade deshon mein aisi chhoti-chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain. Healing at the Movies is a book about cinema and its impact on us. Apart from the glitz, the glamour, and the sparkle, films can subconsciously influence our thoughts and how we react to situations in life. The three uninterrupted hours that we give, we share each character’s pain and problems as much as their joys and celebrations. This is where reality and fiction merge together . . . where a song and dance sequence can teach us more about society than society itself. *Cue the song: Khalbali hai khalbali* Every film is a reflection of its times. This book is a treasure trove of movies made on pertinent social issues that will not only rekindle your love for the Indian cinema but also make you a better, informed human being. So, what are you waiting for? Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost ...

Book Description
Like no other medium before it, the popular movie presents the potential of a new power for illuminating the depth of human experience. E-Motion Picture Magic employs that power as a tool to increase consciousness. Cinema therapy offers more perspective on life, prompting the viewer to step back from his or her problems in order to feel less insecure, worried, or discontented. Using films for self-improvement allows a shift in perspective when viewed with conscious awareness. The use of movies for personal growth and healing carries forward a long-standing connection between storytelling and self-reflection that may date back to the beginnings of spoken language. The movie experience used in very specific ways can have significant benefits for those who are willing to apply themselves using E-Motion Picture Magic that can be both beneficial as well as enjoyable.

Book Description
While film and video has long been used within psychological practice, researchers and practitioners have only just begun to explore the benefits of film and video production as therapy. This volume describes a burgeoning area of psychotherapy which employs the art of filmmaking and digital storytelling as a means of healing victims of trauma and abuse. It explores the ethical considerations behind this process, as well as its cultural and developmental implications within clinical psychology. Grounded in clinical theory and methodology, this multidisciplinary volume draws on perspectives from anthropology, psychiatry, psychology, and art therapy which support the use and integration of film/video-based therapy in practice.

Book Description
Did you know that watching certain movies can improve your mental health? Research has shown that movies with positive messages can make us stronger, better, kinder, and more empathetic people. They can heal us, uplift us, and allow us a safe way to work through our struggles. In addition, watching movies with loved ones can foster a deep emotional connection. Author Anne Feustel first discovered watching movies as a coping skill when she saw a childhood favorite, The Princess Bride, while experiencing a manic episode. Happily, she was transported to a magical realm, a place where her mania could not follow. It became her go-to movie when she was struggling with mania, depression, or anxiety. Later, Anne realized that viewing specific movies had eased her emotional struggles since she was a child, especially when she watched them with her sister. Along with sharing her mental health journey, Anne explores the history of cinematherapy as a tool to create healthy coping skills and sustain personal growth. Inclusion and equality are important criteria for the movies that Anne chose. Many films did not make the cut because of issues such as racism, sexism, fatphobia, homophobia, and extreme violence. For each of the 12 movies reviewed in the book, Anne details how they can affect our mental health. She also adds caveats (aspects viewers might object to), triggers (scenes that might cause viewers to relive a traumatic event), and fun facts. The movies include Inside Out, When Harry Met Sally..., and The Princess Bride. So, film fans, it's time to dive deep into your favorite movies!

Book Description
Watching movies is the preeminent manner in which we can learn relationship building or strengthening skills and overall salubrious social behavior. Delving deeper into the contents of motion pictures, that we, as movie lovers, will watch anyway, affords us the opportunity to conduct our own cinema-therapy, without the expense of hiring a professional therapist, enabling us to gain new insights on issues like problem-solving, healing past hurts and promoting the well-being of our physical, emotional, and soulful self. "How to Watch Movies for Movie Lovers" is an innovative self-help workbook that teaches people how to reap therapeutic benefits from every movie they choose to watch. The innovation comes from the perspective of a behavioral health peer specialist instead of the views of a phyco-therapist or Ph.D., and is written as a temperate blend of scholarly scientific knowledge and the common sense of the average person. The workbook contains ten chapters, seven of which embodies the fifty-three movies featured. This workbook should be classified as non-fiction, even though the majority of the featured films are fiction. Each chapter containing movies is formatted in the following way: pictures of the DVD cover or cinema promotion poster and resource information for each film, rating and content information, questions designed to generate thought or discussion (that the reader answers on the space provided) about each film, answers to the questions from the author's angle (which also points out subsequent therapeutic aspects), then a wrap up of the movie's benefits and a short introduction to the next movie or chapter. The purpose for writing this workbook, is that you, my fellow movie -lovers, will learn not to take watching movies for granted. There are skills and perceptions to be gained by viewing all films, and now you too can possess the power, and the ingenuity, to retrieve and retain these concepts for yourselves on a conscious plane. My entire life I have been on a journey to discover truth. I have ventured after justice for myself and the people around me, of which I believed the truth would bring. Although I have become wiser from the experiences my path has taken me through, my quest continues...
