This film shows the origins of the technique in a rehabilitation hospital and how it has been applied in other medical settings over the course of the years since it was first created.
In addition, comments by Mickie McGraw, cofounder of the Art Therapy Studio 50 years ago, and Irene Rosner David, also a pioneer in medical art therapy in a rehabilitation setting, extend and amplify the learning experience. Finally, the evolution of some of the footage in this film testifies to the power of a film seen in an art therapy classroom to inspire the adoption of a method new to the student that she then applied with enthusiasm in two of her internship placements. Fortunately, she also filmed the experiences, perhaps wanting to inspire others as she herself had been motivated.
