PSY-3900AN: Narrative Phototherapy

Society and Western culture has become progressively rooted in social media and photographic portrayals. Such presentations represent a form of meaningful storytelling. This 1-unit workshop will introduce students to the usefulness of meaningful photographs to individuals within psychotherapy and collaborative postmodern therapeutic practice. Images can provide fertile territory for imaginative exploration in conversations providing a multiplicity of possibilities. Students will learn how invitations into storytelling in photographic social media contexts can be helpful within individual, group, and community clinical work. Students will also learn various ways in which participant photography can be employed to explore problematic and preferred stories in counseling. Using a framework grounded in postmodern therapy, students will be introduced to deconstruction and externalization practices using photographs as a catalyst to springboard preferred narratives.
