HIV/AIDS and Art/PhotoTherapy

In response to those looking for info/publications on HIV/AIDS and Art Therapy and/or PhotoTherapy, since I specialize in counseling for HIV-related issues for the affected and infected (using mainly PhotoTherapy techniques, though also some art therapy ones too), I thought I might recommend the following publications, and would appreciate all readers who have additional references to not only post them, but please email me with these updates so I can add them to my own list.

Also, please feel free to contact me for further networking.
