Both the 1989 American film Field of Dreams and the 2008 Japanese film Departures show how the heroes discover their father\u2019s anima in unexpected ways, thereby sparking powerful reviving of their estranged relationships. John Beebe, MD, defined the father\u2019s anima, a relatively unappreciated concept, in 1984: \u201cI am referring to the father’s working sense of his son’s life, the emotional attitude that the father takes toward his son. This emotional attitude is communicated to the son as his father’s sense of the younger man’s worth.\u201d Healthcare professionals will learn mindfulness techniques of viewing and post-viewing processing of films that will enable the participant to discover the father\u2019s anima as a way of reviving estranged father-son relationships as seen in the films. Teachings are appropriate for healthcare professionals as well as the general public. Healthcare professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
