Comic book therapy is a form of art therapy in which those undergoing rehabilitation express their experiences through personal narratives in a graphic novel/sequential art format that enables them to process their memories and emotions. It can also be used in a psychotherapeutic setting whereby clients are encouraged to read specific comic books and present their thoughts and feelings on the events that occur within the books.[1] This is done in an effort to reach a cathartic moment of clarity and understanding of one's own life.

The United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is currently funding research to develop for use with returning soldiers.[2][3][4] Program was conceptualized by CAPT Russell Shilling.
