I recently completed the 'Film-Based Psychotherapy' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a valuable learning experience. As a student from Egypt, I appreciated the diverse perspectives and examples presented in the course. The instructors did a great job of explaining complex concepts in an easy-to-understand manner, and the film analyses were thought-provoking. I gained a deeper understanding of how film can be used as a therapeutic tool and developed skills in creating personalized treatment plans. While some course materials could be improved, overall I'm pleased with my experience and would recommend this course to those interested in psychotherapy and film studies.

I'd like to share my thoughts on the 'Film-Based Psychotherapy' course at Stanmore School of Business, which I recently completed. As a Brazilian student with a background in psychology, I was curious to explore the application of film in therapeutic settings. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the topic, with a good balance of theoretical foundations and practical examples. I appreciated the opportunity to engage with fellow students from diverse backgrounds and learn from their experiences. The course materials were well-structured, and the film analyses were insightful. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more Latin American case studies, but overall I'm satisfied with my learning experience and would recommend this course to those interested in psychotherapy and film studies.
