Clinician Resource Package
As part of our ongoing
commitment to helping clinicians incorporate light therapy into their
practice, we offer this resource package with useful clinical tools. These
are also included in our new book, A Clinician’s Guide to Using Light
Therapy, which offers a
simple, step-by-step method for light treatment.
Please feel free to use any
of these tools in your clinical practice as needed. However, we would appreciate
an acknowledgment or citation to us if they are used in presentations or
copied for educational events or other clinical settings. And, please let us
know if you have ideas about other resources that we can include in the
package.
