Drawing from experience

P T Clements Jr et al. J Psychosoc Nurs Ment Health Serv. 2001 Dec.

Abstract

The journey through grief after exposure to a sudden traumatic death is a painful and personal experience for children. This requires therapeutic interventions that explore and facilitate the healing potential within each child. Drawings are an expressive method that can provide a conduit for identifying and understanding issues requiring therapeutic intervention and follow up.
