Luz, câmera e cura: análise do potencial terapêutico, em filmes do gênero dramático, na contemporaneidade

Abstract

Psychology has sought to establish tools that can expand and improve its character of intervention in contemporary times. In this sense, with the development of artistic conceptions, especially with the popularization of cinema, Psychologists have strengthened ties with cinematographic works, in order to understand how films can consolidate a more intimate relationship with individuals' psychic processes. With the advancement of cinema on a global scale, one of the cinematographic genres that acquired more notoriety was the dramatic genre, thus, this category is based on representing dilemmas with intense emotional content and increasingly closer to the spectator's reality. It is inserted in this contemporary bias, that the therapist is faced with a subject that is the mark of his time: the postmodern individual. In a constant search for meaning, predominantly narcissistic traits, unstable and conceived through a consumerist society, it is through this perspective that the postmodern individual is admitted. Therefore, it is from this context that the Psychologist, in contact with the cinematographic works of dramatic genre, can institute new instruments to be incorporated into their actions, with this, the films become relevant resources for this professional, essentially to what is refers to the contemporary period with which it operates. From this perspective, it can promote therapeutic elements that can also be added to the living experiences of this postmodern subject.
