Description
Living with "the Gloria Films" A Daughter's Memory
In 1964, a series of educational films titled "Three Approaches to Psychotherapy" was produced, featuring complete psychotherapy sessions for the first time. The films, which included a willing client named Gloria, sparked controversy and debate upon their release. Gloria's experiences and the impact of the films on her life were shrouded in mystery, with many questions left unanswered. The films, which were later translated into multiple languages and became a regular part of the college curriculum, were shown in theatres and on TV, and even led to a lawsuit. Despite the controversy, the success of the films was attributed to "Gloria's genius". However, what really happened to Gloria after the filming, and how her personal life evolved, remains a fascinating and unresolved mystery. This book explores the story of Gloria and the "Gloria Films", shedding light on a pivotal moment in the history of psychotherapy and the evolving consciousness of women in the 1960s.
