Open a Window: An Artbook from Therapists
$24.95
Psychotherapy is a science, but many argue that it is also an art—the art of connecting, the art of listening, the art of opening “new windows,” the art of creatively seeking new possibilities of being-in-the-world. Using art in psychotherapy is a powerful tool for expressing what is inexpressible. Many therapists not only use art in therapy but are artists themselves. This book is a collaborative effort to bring together the artwork and the writings of 10 therapists. It endeavors to “Open a Window” to the world of therapy.
