Liesl Silverstone provides the background and theory of Person-Centered Art Therapy before offering an art therapy exercise demonstrating the approach with two women and their images. The underlying philosophy of person-centered art therapy is that it is a creative mode to keep us away from cerebral, verbal, judgmental processes, and into the “here and now” world of imagination, intuition and inspiration. The paradox applies that by thinking less, it is possible to know more.
By making visible our images, we can tap into material from the subconscious, which is denied to the forefront of our awareness, and gain valuable insights leading to growth, self-awareness and integration. Silverstone’s years of experience as a tutor, counsellor, and art therapist are evident in her work with adults, children and educationally disadvantaged adults both in groups and individual settings. Silverstone was the founder of the Person-Centered Art Therapy Centre in London.
In this video you will learn:
- • the underlying philosophy of person-centered art therapy
- • how to use person-centered art therapy with adults, children and educationally disadvantaged adults
