Press reviews for: Self-Healing Through Visual and Verbal Art Therapy
Book News
Joe is seven years old, and his family is breaking up. Calling on Freud's and Winnicott's on psychoanalysis and play, Simon, a master practitioner and one of the founders of art therapy, describes how Joe uses his drawings and stories to progress from unconscious distress to the conscious level, where he can begin to heal. Simon gives a brief history of the methods and then devotes her discussion to Joe's art, his stories about it, and the paths she and Joe took to resolve his fears.
