Dariusz Wadowski

The article discusses the main interpretative positions in the recognition of therapeutic culture, presents its basic components and reviews selected forms of its presence in media communication. It has been found that in almost every aspect of media communication and in various products of media it is possible to see therapeutic references and values.
