Yes, But... (French: Oui, mais...) is a 2001 French comedy film written and directed by Yves Lavandier, dealing with brief therapy and teenage sexuality.
Attracted but also frightened by her sexuality, a teenage girl undergoes a brief therapy with a warm, humorous and competent psychotherapist.
Yes, But... shows a brief therapy (and not a psychoanalysis) with all its techniques: transactional analysis, gestalt, Ericksonian hypnosis, systemic therapy, paradoxical prescriptions, humor, visualisation.
Richard Fisch, director of the Brief Therapy Center in Palo Alto, called Yes, But... "a gem". Psychotherapist Alan D. Entin says Yes, But... gives a very accurate portrayal of his occupation.
