Following an examination of the assumptions and theoretical framework which underlie contemporary art therapy, considers the influence of the work of early psychoanalysts such as Freud and Jung on modern art therapy. Looks at the early studies in both Europe and the United States which explored the relationship between the arts and mental illnesses. Traces in detail the development of art therapy as a formal profession, drawing distinctions between the American and European approaches and then focusing on its development in the United States, from the early work of Naumburg and Kramer to the later work of Kwiatkowska and Wadeson. 22p. 64f. 41b.
