PSY-5140A: Photoanalysis in Clinical Practice

This workshop intends to provide students with the knowledge and skills useful in reading and interpreting both public and personal photographs. This information can then be a catalyst for therapeutic communications, making it possible to have a dialogue that might be resistant to the usual therapeutic inquiry, as well as making it possible to recall blocked, denied or forgotten material. Students will also learn the theory of photoanalysis as well as specific techniques to work with their clients and their photographs. The workshop will do this by guiding students to observe and evaluate the body language, placement in groupings, distance between people as well as emotional reactions to photographs and the feelings seen in the pictures they bring. Family systems theory will be applied to what is seen in intergenerational photographs, to better understand how family patterns appear throughout the generations.
