The article provides a general overview of the available research results on the use of films in therapeutic practice, using publications by Russian and foreign authors.

The psychological mechanisms of the impact of films on the viewer, such as catharsis, identification with the hero, are considered. The main stages of the film therapy process are highlighted. It is shown that psychological work using works of cinematography can help young people cope with life difficulties, develop new positive personal qualities, increase tolerance, empathy and offer new ways of understanding specific problems, as well as be useful in learning. The tools of film therapy work are quite wide and can be used in various situations. The most undeveloped and controversial aspects of psychological work with the help of cinema are highlighted, such as the lack of standardized and sufficiently tested materials for work, which requires further research. By analyzing the available materials, it was found that films are an increasingly popular and effective method of therapy for psychoemotional conditions in Russia and the world. The results of the research conducted to date indicate that the use of film images in psychological practice, as well as at training events, gives positive psychotherapeutic effects.
