This article offers a proposal for using film as supplements for future therapists’ education in respect of the social construction of their relations with patients. A film pedagogy proves indispensable in a pandemic situation, when empirical therapeutic practice becomes impossible. The analysis refers to the concepts of pedagogy of cinema and mediated experience and points to a proposal of an exemplification of their functioning in the form of a selected cinematic picture (“Three Christs”, 2017), based on an actual psychotherapeutical experiment undertaken by Milton Rokeach at the Ypsilanti clinic.
