This book shows how the expressive arts therapies contain the
potential for renewal in both art and psychotherapy. The author
first describes the theoretical basis for his vision of art as
medicine, citing the archetypal psychology of James Hillman,
writers such as D.H. Lawrence and Friedrich Nietzsche, mythologies
such as Mircea Eliade, Henri Corbin and British scholar Jane
Harrison and others. He then discusses his methods, including
interpretation through performance and storytelling, collaborative
creation, and dialoguing with paintings, as opposed to talking
about paintings. Finally, he offers an illustrated examination of
drawings, paintings and dreams, demonstrating how interacting with
the products of the imagination can lead to growth and
transformation for the healthy as well as the sick. The author also
wrote "The Arts and Psychotherapy", "Educating the Creative Arts
Therapists", "Fundamentals of Art Therapy" and "Depth Psychology of
Art".
