Please notify me whenever this page is updated.

   While there are several hundred readings recommended at the back of the book PhotoTherapy Techniques -- plus many excellent new ones that have appeared in the years since it was published -- the various brief lists below contain only those references considered to be the best and most important for providing a solid introduction to the field (even though some may not be very recent publications!).

       There are FOUR "Recommended Reading Lists" below, each one for a different topic related to the purposes of this website.

       You may click on any of these choices (links) below, to go directly to the Section you want -- OR, you can download a much longer and more comprehensive list for ADDITIONAL PhotoTherapy Readings by clicking here (it contains all listings on #1 below, plus dozens more!).

       The choices are:

1) "PhotoTherapy" (Photography DURING therapy) -- Please note that a more comprehensive list, containing dozens more suggested readings, can be downloaded directly there,

2) "Therapeutic Photography" (Photography AS therapy) -- For more information about the differences between "Therapeutic Photography" and "PhotoTherapy", please click here,

3) "VideoTherapy" (Includes both "Video-IN-therapy" and also "Video-AS-therapy" -- as well as "Using Film or Cinema in [or as] Therapy"), and

4) "Photographic Cultural Studies/Education & Visual Anthropology/Sociology -- and even Business applications related to all above (including Research Aspects in all fields)" (This also includes Research applications).

       For additional recommendations more specific to a particular topic (such as lists pertinent to Special Education, Research, Cross-Cultural, Gender, HIV/AIDS, and so forth), please contact the PhotoTherapy Centre. (The Centre has most of these publications in its Library and also has contact information for many of the authors below).

       Additionally, it is highly recommended that you also check this website's always-growing list of "Student Theses and Dissertations" -- because many of these have very relevant content and implications for the literature base of all four fields below, even if not yet published...

      NOTE: This page will be continually updated, so please send the PhotoTherapy Centre your suggestions for additions (and any corrections!).
