ART THERAPY WITH FAMILIES IN CRISIS: Overcoming Resistance Through Nonverbal Expression
By Debra Linesch, Ph.D.
This book focuses on the connections between the process of making art and the curative process in meeting the needs of particularly dysfunctional families. Its approach is built around three questions: (1) What are the characteristics of the families discussed that invite the use of the art process? (2) What are the characteristics of the art process that respond to these families' needs? (3) What is unique about the curative relationship between the critical problems of these families and the art interventions described? Throughout the book, samples of the art produced by these families serve to focus and enhance discussion of particular topics. Over 70 pieces are reproduced and analyzed.
