Synopsis

Wednesday Afternoons with Dr. J is a whimsical illustrated children's narrative that serves to add to the rich history of therapeutic literature by exposing children to basic principles of psychotherapy and the discussion of emotions. In this story, Ari is a 7-year-old client who begins to see Dr. J, a local psychologist, for psychotherapy regarding recent bullying. Whereas there exists much literature geared towards adult audiences that explains child psychotherapy, Wednesday Afternoons with Dr. J is geared towards explaining the process of psychotherapy to the child client to capitalize on the notion that children can be empowered to safeguard both their physical and mental health.
