Art As Medicine demonstrates how the imagination heals and renews itself through this natural process. The author describes his pioneering methods of art therapy-including interpretation through performance and storytelling, creative collaboration, and dialogue with images-and the ways in which they can revitalize both psychotherapy and art itself.
