Art techniques used in conjoint marital therapy

Journal/Book: American Journal of Art Therapy. 1973; 12: 147-164.

Abstract: Describes the use of art therapy techniques with couples from a range of settings including marital therapy, personal youth groups, and research evaluations. Some Ss were deeply disturbed, others were functioning adequately. In each case, however, the art therapy served to clarify the dynamics of the marital relationship. In the treatment and personal youth sessions, the couples themselves were able to make use of their own insights derived from the exercises. Picture making seemed to release expressions of feeling which often have never before been explored by husband and wife.
