| Summary: | Exploring the application of non-directive group art therapy in a schizophrenic population, this thesis has two parts. In the first part concepts of group therapy and group art therapy are presented and examined in their relevancy to schizophrenic clients. In the second part these concepts are integrated in the description of an open art therapy group of schizophrenics at a drop-in center. While describing a non-confrontational, non-directive approach, this thesis does not focus on interpretive interventions, but instead emphasizes the importance of the group art work as communication bridge between therapist and group members |
