Abstract
Photography is a visual medium. It would seem natural for art therapists to consider its therapeutic use and potential. Paradoxically, however, there are only rare instances where art therapists have explored the use of photography. The aim of this article, therefore, is to stimulate thinking about photography from an art therapeutic stance that involves its use in clinical practice. A wide range of therapeutic factors implied in the taking and perceiving of photographs are presented. Additionally, a variety of creative activities based on photography are described. Case illustrations demonstrate different forms of thematic group activities and contexts where photographic pictures may be used.
