Dynamically oriented art therapy has been an established form of psychotherapy for over half a century, and it continues to gain recognition and support from psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and psychotherapists. The procedures of art therapy as a distinctive form of psychotherapy have also received praise from art educators, occupational therapists, social workers &amp; many others. In this work, three case histories of emotionally disturbed women are used to illustrate the various ways in which the process of dynamically oriented art therapy can function in the treatment of depression, ulcers and alcoholism. The pictures created by these patients illustrate the application of transference, identification and free association in relation to the spontaneous pictures created during treatment by means of dynamically oriented art therapy.

A must for art therapists; essential to therapists dealing with incest, molestation, & abuse issues. In SHATTERED IMAGES, Dee Spring integrates her experience as clinician, artist & art therapist to provide the therapist entry into the private world of sexual abuse & trauma. The book is a rich compendium of therapeutic exercises utilizing visual imagery & metaphor that allows the revisiting of the trauma, first through silent art production, then verbal translation of the art. Spring's therapeutic approach & art therapy techniques transform the silence that isolates & protects the abuse & abuser into the skill of storytelling about the dreams, themes & schemes carried in the suitcase of the past. Symptoms are transformed into skills, conflict into change & mastery. One entire chapter considers the crisis-violence cycle & another the stages of restoration. Contains 57 drawings by adult sexual trauma victims, plus 2 extensive appendices of forms, worksheets & task checklists to help therapist & client focus on the task at hand. Spring, whose unique treatment style includes art therapy, imagery & hypnosis, has specialized in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress & Dissociative Disorders for over twenty years.

A classic in the field &amp; one which may have inspired many to become art therapists, this eminently readable volume is ideal for acquainting students with some of the fundamental ideas in the field. Subjects such as a sense of identity, feelings of emptiness, interpretation of reality, ambivalence, aggression, defenses, &amp; sublimation are discussed as Edith Kramer's eloquent words capture the interplay between child, artwork &amp; therapist, bringing to life the fast-moving events in an artroom peopled by emotionally disturbed children. Kramer has a deep knowledge of psychoanalysis, skill &amp; intuition as an artist &amp; the humane love of a born teacher. In one reviewer's opinion, her book's discussion of sublimination, art &amp; defense, aggression &amp; the role of the art therapist have not been surpassed by later volumes or other authors. Richly documented with case material &amp; abundantly illustrated, this book offers inspiration not only to fledgling clinicians, but to any one working with children who wishes to understand how &amp; why art can have such a profound effect. Edith Kramer is a practicing artist &amp; educator who has worked with disturbed, handicapped &amp; normal children in a variety of settings. She is currently adjunct professor of art therapy at NYU.
