Full Description
This book continues the work of the first volume in exploring the use of film/video-based therapy to help build resilience in facing triggers of personal, communal, national, and global trauma.
Focusing on the theme of collaboration, it addresses issues such as integrative medicine and advocacy using film/video-based therapy and digital storytelling as a method to address trauma in one's home, community, country, and the world. Whilst the first volume introduced film/video-based therapy as a new modality in psychotherapy and explored ethical dilemmas that might be inherent to its practice, this volume emphasizes the capacity for positive social change through the use of therapeutic and technological techniques in filmmaking, as well as film/video-based therapy in expressive art therapies such as drama, dance, music, painting, drawing, and more. Addressing the questions of how the language of film can be utilised to watch, process, and discuss images of trauma in therapy, it appeal to researchers and practitioners interested in the creative treatment of trauma, as well as mental health professionals, creative art therapists, filmmakers, and activists.
