Abstract: Describes a workshop dedicated to the multilevel artistic expressions (through collages, images, and sounds) of psychotic patients. The workshop is oriented toward treatment of psychotic patients but is useful for training psychologists to direct and monitor this form of art therapy. The configuration of the workshop and its evolution from the 1978 collage workshop to its present multilevel art setting are examined. The Ss' artistic creations are stimulated by having their therapists actually working with them. Schizophrenic Ss benefit from being able to express themselves at different levels and in different artistic media, even using such spontaneous movements as nonverbal language. (English abstract)
