This book investigates a group of exceptional films that single-mindedly consider one particular emotion – be it pity, lust, grief, or anxiety – to examine cinematic emotion in depth. It will have resonance for academics and practitioners in several fields of psychology, including social work, psychiatry, and therapy.
