Is the purpose of movies simply passive viewing to keep us entertained? The authors suggest that there is much more happening in our unconscious mind. In their graduate and undergraduate classrooms, they developed strategies using films to broaden students’ perspectives on the human journey. While writing about movie characters, students shared the impact these stories had on themselves. The authors guided their interpretations through different theories on the human condition.

As they delve into key perspectives and their application, the authors hope that the reader, too, will perceive both psychology and movies in a different light. The depth and very personal nature of the students’ responses were so meaningful that they inspired this book.

Watching films helps me to apply the theories we learned to real life as opposed to memorizing. (A student)

With a blend of frameworks, first-person student reflections, and the teaching journeys of the authors themselves, Movies as Mirrors makes theories come to life. After reading this book you may never watch movies the same way again!

In the book, I made my learning processes visible to make the psycho-logic of us humans clear. The result is a book, part about the connection between body, soul, and spirit and part about a holistic understanding of consciousness with suggestions for trying things out for yourself. I want to inspire, motivate and inform you if you are also interested in self-awareness or want to get to know your psycho-logic better. The book was written for those people who would like to change or are thinking about it. Everyone else is, of course, welcome too. It is best to ask your coach or therapist about risks and side effects because the book is not suitable if you are waiting for the prince or princess who will save you or if everything is everyone else's fault. If, on the other hand, you like to
— take the reins of your life into your hands,
— if you want to find your strength,
— If it gets uncomfortable at times, then you have come to the right place.

Silence is powerful. Silence can be seen as a calm, life-enhancing moment. A contented, satisfied silence or a loving delay of a precious moment are not considered in this book. Silence can come across as irritating, threatening or frightening. This work examines the effects of silence, which can be seen as disruptive and potentially life-destroying. A decision is made without telling anyone. The book deals with the life-destroying silence in communicative situations, especially in teams and organizations. The goal of the book is to describe life-inhibiting and life-destroying aspects of silence. The book is aimed at both those who have experienced silence in an organization and those who look at silence from a scientific perspective.

The handcuffs suddenly clicked. A short vacation turns into eight and a half months in jail in Hungary before a trial. The coronavirus period of home isolation had barely ended when the next one came. PiP finds herself in small cells in an unknown country with people who appear from time to time, but who speak a language that is foreign to her. In prison life, strange things happen. PiP, a clown, finds brief distraction, but daily prison life keeps taking over. PiP is alone, paints her cell, and sings from the windows and yard. The last thing she hears as she leaves the prison in the bitter cold is, "We hope you never come back!" The story of PiP is interwoven with flashbacks to her childhood and youth. Parallel stories develop into a unique reading experience. It is an experience that ends happily. 

The German version is published. The story could be interesting to film and movie makers.
