sources, she combines self-help strategies, techniques, insights,

and exercises addressing the array of personal problem areas

that are emblematic of the modern human condition. She offers

a version of cinema therapy that, more than most, is firmly

grounded in well-tested principles of cognitive-behavior mod-

ification and social learning, and she applies them with rigor

and creativity to this modern treatment modality. Her book eas-

ily appeals to both lay and professional audiences and, most

importantly, she has raised the bar of excellence for future

authors.
