Re:Scrapbook Therapy

"Scrapbooking" is Therapeutic Art, not Art Therapy -- however it is a HUGE field and if you do a search on something like Google, you will find conferences, magazines (like "Memory Makers").

The various companies making products to be used in making scrapbooks have gone really high-tech over the past decade.

I'm aware of some very creative people teaching workshops on this, and some very useful self-awareness or family-communication projects as outgrowths of family scrapbooks being made, but none of this is PhotoTherapy -- it's more "Therapeutic Photography" (and similarly is therapeutic art, not therapy) -- because these are activities people do on their own, not within a formal therapeutic-focused processed.

to find out more about scrapbooking just search the web, or look at some of the "Related Links" on the site-page of that name, on the website for "PhotoTherapy Techniques in Counseling and Therapy" at:
http://www.phototherapy-centre.com
but I doubt that you'll find it under any *therapy* headings in your searches

Judy Weiser, R.Psych., A.T.R., Director, PhotoTherapy Centre
