Royal Road or Lost Highway? – Preliminaries for a Theoretical Conception of Filmtherapy

Author(s):

Abstract

The so called phenomenon of »filmtherapy« is already taking place although an integrated framework that combines media scientific as well as psychological and therapeutic knowledge is still missing. The following article outlines some basic problems in the current reflection of filmtherapeutic concepts. It aims at collecting helpful ideas, which might be able to cover the intricacies of the complex filmtherapeutic endeavors. The main idea consists in a theoretical design based on a metatheory of observation that is capable of integrating different traditional observation-modes of the humanities like hermeneutics, phenomenology, semiotics, and their numerous offshoots.
