Yes You Can: Art-Centered Therapy for People with Disabilities
by Mickie McGraw
Discover the courage, commitment, and creative coping skills of Mickie McGraw who, together with Dr. George Streeter, founded a hospital-based art therapy program that has served as a blueprint for using art therapy to help individuals move forward in the face of daunting medical diagnoses and disabilities.
The film tells the story of Dr. George Streeter, a psychoanalyst and artist and Mickie McGraw, MA and of the unique program they developed 45 years ago. Not only is it well integrated into the hospital, but it has also extended the benefits of art centered therapy throughout the community through studios and contracts with other organizations. This model can serve as a blueprint and an inspiration for many other hospital-based art therapy programs.

The film is followed by 2 Discussions of its contents by participants: Barbara Streeter and Cathy Bryan.

With Dr. George Streeter, a psychoanalyst who was also an artist, McGraw co-founded and ran an Art Therapy Studio in a rehabilitation hospital. When she retired they renamed that part of the hospital the Mickie McGraw Activity Center, and in 2010 received the prestigious Cleveland Art Prize.

What therapists are saying…

“By creating art, a person symbolically re-creates him or herself and begins to put the pieces back together.”
