- Summary:
- This film series, the famous "Gloria" films, was a pioneer in educational film-making in the field of psychology. A film series such as this, in which three therapists - distinguished by their different orientations - share their therapeutic endeavors, had never been made before. Gloria, an actual patient, was courageous enough to allow herself to be photographed while engaged in therapy. We are allowed the privilege of seeing and feeling what actually transpires. The contributions of Dr. Rogers, Dr. Perls, and Dr. Ellis to the field of psychology are monumental, and the continually growing popularity of this series remains a tribute to their achievements. Dr. Ellis challenges Gloria's absolutes - her "awfulizing" and "catastrophizing" - that make her feel so unhappy with herself, and that sabotage her relationships with others. He teachers her that the irrational things she says to herself cause her negative feelings and her consequent behaviors. Gloria begins to discover that she can correct her irrational thoughts and reverse her negative feelings and behaviors.
