Have you ever heard of “film therapy”？ Doctors are using films to encourage their patients to talk more freely about their problems. Supporters of “film therapy” say that discussing characters and plot lines from a proper film can help people understand themselves better.
Andrew Wooder, a doctor from Alabama, who charges ￡ 45 for a onehour “film therapy” session, says, “I was treating a woman who had been badly let down in a relationship, and who was experiencing such strong feelings that it was difficult for her to speak about them. I told her that her situation reminded me of On the Waterfront, when Marlon Brando's character realises his brother is dishonest and he feels a great sense of betrayal. My patient identified (认同) so easily with him that she started to cry. Watching and discussing the film unlocked all the feelings she had buried. Each time she watched and cried, she felt better.”
Andrew admits that film therapy does not work for everyone, but says he has used it successfully with about a third of his patients. “Through the film characters, plots and even music, it allows people to be faced with their problems.” He says that Falling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays the part of an unemployed man who is so frustrated that he uses violence, is an example of the dangerous consequences of not letting anger go. “I used this film with a patient who was very upset because he was holding on to a lot of the anger he felt towards people who had frustrated him，” says Andrew. “We talked about Michael Douglas's character and the disastrous path he takes, and my patient then realised that he needed to let go of his feelings more regularly so as not to erupt like a time bomb.”
