Exploring the therapeutic benefits of visual and verbal creativity, this book highlights how art can facilitate self-healing. Through the case of seven-year-old Joe, who navigates the trauma of family break-up via his drawings and stories, R.M. Simon illustrates the transition from unexpressed emotional distress to conscious verbalization. By integrating concepts from Freud and Winnicott, the author provides a comprehensive overview of art therapy theory and practice, making it a valuable resource for art therapists, psychotherapists, and students.
