Abstract
The treatment of low-functioning individuals in an adaptive art therapy program was conducted using the “art as therapy” approach. Both the theoretical formulations of Edith Kramer and Viktor Lowenfeld were used to devise practical strategies that addressed the clients intellectual and emotional handicaps. Emphasis upon the pursuit of both aesthetic and therapeutic goals is illustrated in a case treatment study that involved a severely retarded client with Down's syndrome. The author's contention is that in exceptional instances, these clients are capable of approaching artistic sublimation, and deriving the quoted benefits from such a process.
