Can anyone recommend a good program, especially one that emphasizes interpreting the art produced by children? I attended a lecture by someone who was very talented in interpreting the art work of children and adolescents. It was something I was fascinated by and would like to learn more.

Not only are they interesting in their own right, they also are very encouraging. It is wonderful to know that professionals are embracing art therapy and recognizing its value in healing people.

I think I'll use this article to help people understand what we are doing before we even start. If the client can take home this blog to read before the first art therapy session, perhaps he or she will be more relaxed and open to the process.

Thanks for giving me something I can share with my clients! Now, maybe I won't have to do as much “convincing” when I bring up the subject! Usually, I find myself trying to explain all of these points, but don't do as good a job as the author does.
