Process and Product
I tell clients (and prospective clients) that it is NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE ART TALENT OR TRAINING to benefit from art therapy. You don't even have to be able to draw! Here is a collage made by a chemically dependent adult recently in a treatment center. The directive was to make a comparative collage using words and images cut from magazines. On the left hand side is "Drunk me/Using me" and on the right "Sober me/Clean me." Look how scattered and random the images on the left are! They are … [Read more...] about Process and Product
Boundaries
BOUNDARIES At the most basic level, boundaries describe an individual’s “close comfort” zone. Where “I” end and “you” begin. Personal space, skin, energy field, mind your own business.

Healthy boundaries are empowering and encourage self-reliance and responsibility. Healthy parenting looks a lot like a good Al Anon – … [Read more...] about Boundaries
Ready for Treatment
The Inside/Outside Box is a typical art therapy project. Fun to make, it is a self-portrait in metaphor and an un-self conscious look into things like persona, boundaries, containment, congruency and secrets.

Lots of times people with eating disorders try to “pretty up” their outsides; more concerned with how others see them than they are with their own insides. I usually see a difference between the outsides and … [Read more...] about Ready for Treatment
Collaborative Sand Mandala
Sand Mandala Blueprint More and more I see art as the by-product of an experience. The experience happens in both process and product during art making and in art therapy. Nothing illustrates this quite as well as the collaborative sand mandala. I got the idea from the Tibetan monks who spend their lives memorizing grain by grain and color by color these beautiful, symbol-laden traditional designs, or yantras. They then painstakingly create the image in colored sand with a special … [Read more...] about Collaborative Sand Mandala
