Tammy,
I'm not quite clear how, if you are already working on a research paper about "phototherapy" you are not able to answer your professor about this yourself, based on what you have already uncovered about the field, via the web and the many existing publications about it that are "out there" already, but... I will try to help:
Please tell your professor that "being unaware of information" is not the same thing as that information not existing!!
While I wonder why you are asking us for this information (below) that you surely have found by yourself if deciding to write on the topic, I would nevertheless suggest you tell him/her to look at the following webpages:
1) "PhotoTherapy Techniques in Counseling and Therapy":
http://www.phototherapy-centre.com
and pay special attention to the "Recommended Readings" page, the "Book and Video Page", and the list on the "Student Theses and Dissertations" page
2) the page for the recent Conference in Finland: "International Conference on PhotoTherapy and Therapeutic Photography" which just took place in Finland -- tell your prof to look at the list of "invited speakers" -- and their background credentials and publications, at:
http://www.congress.utu.fi/phototherapy08
3) My own book and publications list, at:
http://www.phototherapy-centre.com/biography.htm
The PhotoTherapy Centre is a Resource Library where people come from all over the world to study -- it opened over 25 years ago and my career spans thirty years of practice and writing.
My book is in its third printing now (and currently being translated into both Korean and Spanish!) -- and your prof needs to realize that there are over twenty pages of references at the back of that book:
http://www.phototherapy-centre.com/bookvid.htm
HOPEFULLY this will give you enough "proof" to satisfy your prof??
WHERE are you studying? What University and which Department?? You need to make sure you are using the term "phototherapy" correctly (use of photos by trained therapists, with clients) and that you do not mean, instead, "Therapeutic Photography" (used by photographers and non-therapists, etc...):
