One of the difficulties about how our minds work is that we often
cannot quite clearly see or know what is inside us. Art therapists
have a longstanding tradition of prescribing image-making to prompt
expression of feelings, often by asking people to draw, paint, or
sculpt "how you feel." It is one of the fundamental approaches in
the field that distinguishes art therapy from verbal techniques
that ask people to simply talk about their emotions. Author Erica
Jong once wrote that imagery is a form of emotional shorthand. This
could be interpreted to mean that while we may use paragraphs of
prose to describe an emotional experience, images allow us to
communicate simply and directly. At its core, art therapy embraces
the paradigm that creating images cuts to the chase when it comes
to expressing feelings. The point is not to draw well. But to draw
with authenticity. This is specifically a book for people who can't
draw.
