Movies as Therapy

Motion pictures can provide more than entertainment; they can be therapeutic—helping people see themselves, others or issues in a new light. They can open up productive dialog.

This list on 53 topics has been compiled from suggestions received from various Christians. It includes both secular and Christian films. Hollywood films are easier to obtain, but require more discernment. We urge you to read our reviews and view the video(s) before prayerfully deciding which to use in your particular situation.
