Abstract
Cinematherapy is the use of movies as an intervention with clients. When done well, it is used to evoke and process emotion, psychoeducate, increase empathy, and problem‐solve. However, there is no literature on utilizing movies as an intervention with African American couples. Based on literature and research about culture‐informed interventions and media literacy, cinematherapy with African American couples would be more meaningful and effective if clinicians utilize Black‐oriented movies.
