ABSTRACT

Film- and video-based therapies have existed in some form for decades, yet little has been written about the ethical challenges that arise with the therapeutic use of these technologies. In this chapter, we first outline the main ethical considerations in working with film- and video-based therapies, and then specific dilemmas that might arise for practitioners working in this field. We challenge readers by presenting these dilemmas without providing ready answers on how to face them; instead, we invite the readers to reflect upon their own ethical practices, professional guidelines, and jurisdictional considerations to guide their perspectives on these issues.
