The healing power of films has been winning more and more supporters around Europe.

Movie therapy created by London-based psychotherapist Berny Wooder is moving into the mainstream.

For more than a decade he has been prescribing films to help alleviate his clients' emotional troubles.

At the Baftas awarding ceremony held last month, film producer Lord Puttnam made a moving speech as he collected his Fellowship Award. In it, he spoke about the power of films to heal, and cited a scene from The Sixth Sense that had helped him come to terms with the death of his father.

On its deepest level, movie therapy involves encouraging individuals to talk about what films say to them, in terms of the plot, music or even a glance one character gives another.
