COURSE DETAILS

Overview

Beginning with a 2020 interview, Barry M. Cohen describes his journey from artist to art therapist and the creation of the Diagnostic Drawing Series (DDS) in the early 1980s. Combining three drawing tasks with the systematic study of therapeutic art productions, this first art therapy research study of its kind sought to identify graphic profiles of people who shared the same DSM diagnoses. It also was the first systematic study of how “healthy” adults draw.
