Abstract
AbstractThree art therapists utilize their own art work to explore their relationship to their clients' images of horror, the “darkside” of their lives that is exposed to art therapists. The authors seek to understand their decision to be confronted with the tragic realities their clients present. Questions are raised as to how this work serves the therapist and related cautions are given. Using one's own post-session art to process strong feelings, increase empathy, explore merging by using the client's symbols, and the impact of the work on the “artist self” are examined.
