A photothermographic material wherein at least an image-forming layer on
at least one surface of a support, the image-forming layer containing a
photosensitive silver halide, a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a
reducing agent, and a binder, wherein, an outermost layer is provided
as a layer most remote from the support on the side of the support where
the image-forming layer is provided, a non-photosensitive intermediate
layer A containing a binder and provided in adjacent with the
image-forming layer and between the image-forming layer and the outermost
layer, wherein the binder of the non-photosensitive intermediate layer A
contains 80% by mass or more of a polymer formed by copolymerizing a
monomer represented by Formula (M), a non-photosensitive intermediate
layer B containing a binder and provided between the non-photosensitive
intermediate layer A and the outermost layer, and the binder of the
non-photosensitive intermediate layer B contains 50% by mass or more of a
hydrophilic polymer derived from animal protein:
CH.sub.2.dbd.CR.sup.01--CR.sup.02.dbd.CH.sub.2, Formula (M) as well as
image forming method thereof.
