Portraits of the Human Spirit: Lessons in Living

An online book and multimedia project
These online photo essays profile seven
individuals who have challenged adversity with
extraordinary spirit. Photography can help people
to look at themselves-the visual is such a direct line
to the unconscious. These portraits help all of us to
recognize that we, too, have the capacity to do
more with our lives than we ever thought possible.
Joel Walker is a photographer and psychiatrist
based in Toronto. Early in his career he discovered
the power of photographs in therapy and
pioneered a treatment method based on photo
images.
