Individual Art Therapy in the Hospital
by Andrea Ramsey, MA & Mildred Lachman Chapin
This film includes two demonstrations of art therapy with individual adult patients in different inpatient psychiatric settings. Both therapists are warm, natural, and engaged with the clients. The first is an initial art assessment interview of a person with schizophrenia. The art therapist, Mildred Lachman Chapin, and the patient first discuss the gentleman’s concerns. In the second example, art therapist Andrea Ramsey, works with an adult hospitalized in acute care who she has seen before. The session is a continuation of an earlier one where the patient is engaged in completing the background of an image as a gift for her children.

This film includes two demonstrations of art therapy with individual adult patients in different inpatient psychiatric settings. 

The first is an initial art assessment interview of a person with schizophrenia. The art therapist, Mildred Lachman Chapin, and the patient first discuss the gentleman’s concerns. They then make art side by side based on the issues the patient has expressed verbally, creating a series of three drawings. The therapist offers a gentle interpretation responding to the drawings created by herself and the patient, which he seems to find accurate and meaningful. This approach was created by Mildred Chapin in the 1980s based on her interpretation of how Self Psychology as defined by psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut might be applied to art therapy.

In the second example, art therapist Andrea Ramsey, works with an adult hospitalized in acute care who she has seen before. The session is a continuation of an earlier one where the patient is engaged in completing the background of an image as a gift for her children. The art therapist notes that the patient is very different than she was when she first came to the hospital, and together they talk about some of the changes both have observed.
