Art, Psychotherapy and Psychosis defines the unique role of art therapy in the treatment of psychosis. Using clinical material and many examples of clients'work, experienced practitioners describe working with patients in a variety of settings. Writing from different theoretical standpoints, they reflect the current diversity within the profession and its origins in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, Jungian psychology and psychiatry.
Part One explores issues involved in working with psychosis, examining the problem of symbolisation, the nature and meaning of art made by psychotic patients and the historical context of art therapy and psychosis tracing its development in psychiatric and psychotherapeutic settings to its new position in the community.
Art, Psychotherapy and Psychosis extends the existing theory surrounding analytical art psychotherapy and offers fresh perspectives for students and practitioners on working with borderline, acute or long-term sufferers.
