Hardcover. Condition: VG. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Dust jacket condition: Very Good. Spontaneous painting and modelling can be the most direct expression of that unconscious world which lies buried beneath our daily actions and which erupts in the symbolism of our dreams and fantasies. For the mentally sick and the subnormal -and indeed for the healthy-this practical approach in therapy provides a creative outlet for feelings they have hitherto been unable to articulate in a normal way and gives a sense of release and fulfilment. It can become an integral part of the treatment arranged for the patient by the doctor. E. M. Lyddiatt who, for many years, has directed art therapy centres in psychiatric hospitals and helped to pioneer the use of spontaneous painting and modelling explains, simply and convincingly, the purpose of this imaginative activity and what work space, techniques and materials are necessary. She describes the work of almost forty patients, ranging from the severely disturbed and subnormal to out-patients undergoing analysis or psychotherapy. She shows how they tackled their work, the results, and- significantly-their own comments on what their work has meant to them. Their painting and modelling can be violently rhythmic, chaotic blazes of color, sad isolated figures or hermqetic scribbles. It is direct, unsophisticated, at times startling, as can be seen in the 59 illustrations, six of which are in full color. E. M. Lyddiatt's enthusiasm and experience make this a fascinating book- for anyone interested in the mentally ill, for art teachers and students, and for the layman as well. 147 pages.
