Recommendations:
I am delighted to see this book by Dorota Raniszewska published now in English, because I want to recommend it to as many people as possible, who are interested in how Coaches (and other kinds of "people-helpers") can use people's own ordinary snapshots -- as well as photos taken by others (and interactions with these) -- as methods for helping people improve their lives and the lives of others. As the early pioneer of PhotoTherapy Techniques many decades ago -- and now considered the "world authority" on these (and related techniques derived from them, for using in non-Therapy applications), I find this book an extremely valuable resource of not only successful photo-based techniques to use, but also the reasons for using them, the theories underpinning those reasons, and examples of them being used very successfully in "real-life" applications!
In addition to being impressed with its contents, I find the organization of Chapters to be an easily-followed path that takes the reader from ideas to practical applications, describing complex topics in a way that is simple and enjoyable-to-read, so that readers don't need to have any prior knowledge about psychology to benefit from them. Big congratulations are owed to Dorota Raniszewska for her brilliant and thorough writing of a book brimming with ideas that are substantiated by theory, techniques that will work successfully, and practical applications that can be used by any reader in their own work helping people -- or even themselves!
