Sexual
abuse is a recurring problem in our culture, resulting in a
myriad of treatment issues for survivors. Although there are
a variety of therapeutic approaches for working with this population,
art therapy is one which may be less threatening since it does
not rely heavily on a verbal mode of communication. The purpose
of this book is to focus on treatment approaches, including
individual, group and family art therapy. Case examples with
illustrations are presented. Additionally, the book discusses
graphic indicators of sexual abuse, along with the issue of
forgotten memories and the false memory debate. |

Due
to the increasing isolation, dehumanization, and over intellectualization
of our culture, there is an increasing focus on affect and getting
in touch with the inner self. Accordingly, therapists are inclined
to use nonverbal approaches such as art, music, dance, and drama
for psychological healing and growth. Although these methods
may be unorthodox to some, people can encounter important self-data
by approaching themselves from a new perspective or through
a new medium. |
