ABSTRACT
This book is largely about developments in the therapeutic use of photographs. Photography and therapeutic photography, having initially established themselves in Europe and subsequently developed more in North America, have now seen a European resurgence. These recent, mainly European developments can be seen to have been coupled with the explosion of digital photography that has enabled the digital image to be accessible to the majority. The particular focus of this final chapter is on research where different methods are examined and illustrated. However, before considering research into phototherapy and therapeutic photography, and concluding with thoughts on the future, this chapter starts with a review of the preceding chapters.
