CAMPO REDONDO, María. Movie-forum in teaching psychodynamic psychotherapy: The movie Amelié as case study. Educere [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.39, pp.717-725. ISSN 1316-4910.

This article presents a proposal to use commercial cinema as didactic strategy in teaching psychodynamic psychotherapy. First of all, the literature on teaching psychodynamic psychotherapy is briefly revised, as well as the use of cinema as a pedagogical recourse in general, showing its advantages as didactic technology. Second, integrating projection and follow up analysis of films is described in a Postgraduate seminar about Integral Psychotherapy. Third, an analysis example is shown on the movie Amelié and its application in teaching psychodynamic psychotherapy, specifically in teaching of concepts such as “observing capacity of I”, “resilience”, “intersubjectivity”, “self”, “history of life ”, “therapeutic relationship ” and “defense mechanisms ” among others. Finally, there’s a conclusion highlighting the contributions of movie-forum in teaching psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Keywords : psychotherapy teaching; cinema; didactic strategy; psychodynamic psychotherapy.
