O psychologii w filmach słów kilka

Abstract

The present chapter emphasizes a special role of the relationship between psychology and the film, focusing on one of the areas of this relation, namely on psychology in films. In a synthetic form, the origin of the relationship between psychology and the film is outlined, which comes down not only to co-occurring historical events, but also to the field of interest, which is man and his behaviour. Also, the problems of defining the notion of the so-called psychological film are explained, as are two potential ways of its understanding. Moreover, the chapter draws attention to the challenge of detecting psychological facts and myths in film productions and encourages reflection on the impact of films. In its final part, the chapter introduces the readers into the method of psychological work with films, which is developed by the authors.
