The Psychology of Cinema. When Mind Meets Art

Surprisingly, cinema and psychology were born almost simultaneously — in the late 19th century, and over the past hundred years, both fields have had a colossal cultural impact. Every film is a living and emotion-filled work that offers numerous psychological perspectives. Throughout history, psychologists have been interested in studying films, just as films have explored psychologists. This book is the perfect snapshot capturing the years-long dialogue between psychology and cinema.
