“Toward Emotional Maturity” is a 10-minute film produced in 1954 for McGraw-Hill as part of its “Psychology for Living Series.”
A teenage girl reflects on her emotional growth, remembering when feelings of love, jealousy, fear, and anger took control. The narrator says she learns through experience that no matter how deep an emotion is, you don’t have to let it take you over. She comes to realize that by bringing calm reasoning to emotional questions, your decisions will be what you really want them to be.
The film concludes, “she has begun to think about her emotions and she is on her way to emotional maturity.”
