Inscapes of the child's world : Jungian counseling in schools and clinics

The fruit of more than twenty years of John Allan's clinical work with children—both "normal" children in classrooms and those physically and sexually abused, emotionally neglected, and terminally ill. The book describes different ways to use art: both spontaneous and directed drawing, guided imagery, and active imagination. Rooted in Jung's theory of the regenerative, self-healing ability of psyche, Allan's approach is pragmatic, sensitive, and respectful. His clear language and feeling for his cases make the book widely accessible, so that counselors, teachers, parents—anyone involved with children—will find the ideas immediately useful and encouraging. The wealth of drawings, paintings, and writings by children give us entry to a profound dimension of their suffering and strength, not merely providing examples but portraying experience.
