This fully updated second edition of “Phototherapy and Therapeutic Photography in a Digital Age” invites readers to consider how cutting-edge approaches in phototherapy and therapeutic photography could be integrated into their own practice.

Contributing authors provide guidance on different techniques for using photography in work with clients, including theory and context behind when each approach should be used. Readers will benefit from updates to the current edition, including:

• Updates to the preface and introduction, exploring the importance of self-representation and expression against the backdrop of the ever-growing popularity of mobile phones and social media.

• A new chapter on the integration of AI into phototherapy and therapeutic photography, including future-oriented practice and considering the use of AI for facial emotional recognition and creation of augmented realities.

• A new chapter on PhotoVoice’s methodologies and approaches to community engagement in delivering ethical photography projects for social change.

• A new chapter on how phototherapy can provide safety, security and structure for exploration of self-identity, relationships and narratives.

• An updated conclusion, drawing together developments in phototherapy and therapeutic photography, and renewing ideas about how practitioners look to the future of photography in therapeutic practice.

This book will be of vital importance to counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists and photographers looking to learn more about the intersection of photography and therapeutic practice. It will also be essential reading for art therapists using photography within their work with clients.

Del Loewenthal is an existential-analytic psychotherapist, photographer and chartered psychologist. He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, the British Psychological Society, and United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy, Chair of the Southern Association of Psychotherapy and Counselling; and, Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapy and Counselling at the University of Roehampton.
