The Use of Photography as an Art Therapy Method in the Treatment of Late-Life Depression
The aim of my thesis is to examine the effects of a one-month art therapy treatment. The study focuses on exploring my grandmother's mental state and summarising the effects of photo therapy. The subject of my thesis was inspired by my relationship with my grandmother, as well as the state of her mental health. Among other things, this inspires me to find solutions for when my generation reaches that age. My grandmother is 82 years old and she is struggling with depression. In my thesis, I am seeking to find out whether photography can be used as a form of therapy. In my research, it was important to establish regular conversations between my grandmother and myself regarding her health conditions, so that we could both contribute to her improvement.
