Prof. Sorina Daniela Dumitrache, Prof. Laurentiu Mitrofan

Abstract :

Cinematherapy promotes a healthy and harmonious development, it is a catalyst for creative manifestation and it ensures wellness, as well as inner and external balance. The general assumption we started from in carrying out this paper is that the cinematherapy method is a determinant factor in young people’s psychological optimization, which materializes in the increasing of self–esteem level and in the diminution of anxiety level. Methods used: State–Trait Anxiety Inventory, Rosenberg Self–Esteem Scale, Cinematherapy–Centered personal development program.Our research hypothesis, according to which, there are statistically significant differences regarding the anxiety parameter and the self–esteem parameter, as an effect of applying a cinematherapy–centered experiential personal development program, is confirmed. Cinematherapyhelps participants to discover new healthy coping mechanisms in order to better integrate in all the contexts of their life.
