Photography has often been underutilized in the field of personal or therapeutic growth. This might be attributed to the misconception that it demands technical expertise and specialization. But today, in the post-photography era, therapeutic photography is emerging thanks to two key advantages: <strong>accessibility and immediacy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Accessibility<\/strong>: Anyone, regardless of age or skills, can create or work with a photograph.

We think with images; our past, future, and fantasies are elaborated mentally in the form of images. If we name a word, it automatically becomes an image in our thoughts. Think, for example, of the word BEACH.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">START<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"xs-block xs-text-13 xs-line-height-13 sm-text-12\"><a class=\"dt-single-image\" href=\"https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/jo-spence-2.jpg\" data-dt-img-description=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40202\" src=\"https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/jo-spence-2.jpg\" width=\"70%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/jo-spence-2.jpg 630w, https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/jo-spence-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a>&#8216;Photo Therapy: Beautiful lady at 52&#8217;, 1986\/88 Courtesy Richard Saltoun Gallery<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/en\/jo-spence-the-origin-of-therapeutic-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jo Spence<\/a>, an English artist and photographer, is often credited as one of the first artists to use photography as a personal tool. She chose to engage with photography in a participatory manner, focusing on issues related to social and gender inequalities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">However, there are earlier and intriguing research experiences, such as the work in the early 1850s by Dr. Hugh Diamond, the director of the Surrey County Women&#8217;s Asylum. He was passionate about photography and a prominent member of the Royal Photographic Society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Diamond <strong>systematically photographed his patients as part of a diagnostic approach to identify the type of disease they were suffering from.<\/strong> This science, known as morphopsychology, gained prominence throughout the nineteenth century to understand an individual&#8217;s personality based on their physiognomy. Through his photographs, the doctor followed the progress of his patients. Diamond also noted that his images could sometimes contribute to healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a class=\"dt-single-image\" href=\"https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/psiquiatrico..jpg\" data-dt-img-description=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40203\" src=\"https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/psiquiatrico..jpg\" width=\"60%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/psiquiatrico..jpg 547w, https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/psiquiatrico.-300x376.jpg 300w, https:\/\/andanafoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/psiquiatrico.-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Hugh Diamond<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">THERAPY<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Today, photography is used as a tool within certain psychological therapies, often aligned with humanistic, gestalt, or integrative approaches.
