The Secret World of Drawings begins with the premise that drawings are an expression of the unconscious. Referring to the works of C.G. Jung, Susan Bach, the House-Tree -Person and Kinetic Family Drawings, Jungian Analyst Gregg Furth creates a new and dynamic way to look at spontaneous drawings. Furth's teaching of how to collect and then interpret drawings are a must for any child therapist, anyone working in the art therapy field, as well as those in the medical and healing professions. Cases and vignettes include adults who are interested in exploring the unknown realms within themselves, as well as those who are ill or dying.


"The author's clarity of vision and deep compassion for those in need - whether adult or child, counselor or client - has led him to offer this succinct explication of Jung's ideas as applied to to the symbolism of imagery from the unconscious. Both the text and the many illustrations show how a healing path may be found through the expression of self in drawings and paintings. Rich reference section for further reading in art therapy, Jungian psychology and symbolism." (From the Publisher at www.innercitybooks.net)
