> Being based at Kingston I am aware of Hilary Dalke's work with
> colour and have in the past talked to Dr Staricoff at Chelsea &
> Westminster about her research there into using Visual Art and
> Performing Art (musicians) to aid the efficacy of treatment.
> The web is full of references to colour and light therapy, but
> does anyone know of any doctoral research or similar?
> Many thanks
