About this book
This text introduces the concepts, essential tenets and basic techniques of Phototherapy and Therapeutic Photography.
Through the use of case studies and the author's own professional experience, this book covers the practices, together with their theories and research behind phototherapy and therapeutic photography providing a comprehensive range of major approaches. Examples include Talking Pictures Therapy, Reenactment Phototherapy, the creation of therapeutic photo-books, stories, and diaries, and the therapeutic use of portraiture. Chapters also explain how we can effectively use these techniques in a variety of contexts including private practice, voluntary organisations, schools, prisons and management consultancy, as useful adjuncts to primary practices as well as for self-help.
This handbook is for therapists, photographers, other professionals, clients and activist clients.
