Southwestern College welcomes PhotoTherapy Expert Judy Weiser to their Faculty and Board of Advisors

(Medical-NewsWire.com, August 04, 2012 ) SANTA FE, NM -- Psychologist and Art Therapist Judy Weiser is considered the world authority on PhotoTherapy techniques, and Southwestern College is honored to announce that she is joining the College as Adjunct Faculty. Set to begin teaching in the spring of 2013, Ms. Weiser will bring PhotoTherapy and related techniques to SWC’s expansive curriculum.

Ms. Weiser’s expertise in the holistic approach of using photographs as therapeutic tools makes her well-matched to join Southwestern College, whose programs include a variety of courses focused on art-based therapies.

“When I came here to Southwestern College, I had fantasies of adding PhotoTherapy to the curriculum.” said Dr. Jim Nolan, College President. “I, personally -- and we, as a community -- could not be more excited.”

The process of bringing Ms. Weiser to the College started with Deborah Schroder, Chair of the Art Therapy/Counseling Program, asking the PhotoTherapy expert to give a lecture at the school, when next in the area. It was after Ms. Weiser’s Lecture there in May of 2012 that Dr. Nolan, Ms. Schroder and others invited Ms. Weiser to become Adjunct Faculty and to also join the Southwestern College Board of Advisors.

“It feels to me like PhotoTherapy has found an academic home.” said Ms. Weiser. “I look forward to sharing with people the power of ordinary photos to assist with therapy, healing, improving well-being, and reducing social exclusion.” She will be offering introductory classes and workshops, as well as a Professional Certificate Program in PhotoTherapy (and related) Techniques (all for academic credit and professional CEC’s).

The details regarding Ms. Weiser's offerings at Southwestern College are still being finalized. However one event that students, professionals, photographers and interested others can definitely look forward to is the weekend workshop Introduction to PhotoTherapy (and related) Techniques, scheduled for May 2013, which is being offered for both academic credit and Continuing Education Credits (CEC’s).

Professionals can also receive CEC's by attending Ms. Weiser's Keynote and accompanying Workshop at the College’s August 2013 Transformation and Healing Conference.

Ms. Weiser is currently also discussing with the College about it becoming one of the locations for her Annual week-long "Intensive Training in PhotoTherapy (and related) Techniques” Institutes.

Judy Weiser is one of the earliest pioneers of PhotoTherapy (and related) techniques and has spent over 35 years developing, teaching, consulting and providing mentoring about them. She has given more than 300 workshops, lectures and training intensives in more than 50 cities worldwide, and is the Director of the PhotoTherapy Centre in Vancouver, Canada.

Her book PhotoTherapy Techniques: Exploring the Secrets of Personal Snapshots and Family Albums is currently in its third printing, and she has authored many professional articles and book chapters about these.
