ABSTRACT
This chapter explores central themes within group and individual processes of a group for children of alcohol-addicted parents, using photovoice as the therapeutic intervention. It presents a protocol for the implementation of photovoice as a basis for group intervention, and examples will be presented illustrating what processes have occurred, and how the use of photovoice has enabled these processes. In addition, key insights will be presented regarding the contribution of photovoice to group therapy for children of alcohol-addicted parents. Photovoice was developed by Wang, C. and Burris, M.A. as a methodology for utilizing critical pedagogy and feminism in social interactions. It aims to enable marginalized groups to identity day-to-day issues and to capture them through photography. The presented project aims to use photovoice at the interface between giving voice and enabling agency and therapeutic interventions. This use of photovoice is less often described in the literature in relation to children who are dealing with parental addictions.
