Week #1

I try to contact all of the participants, but 3 out of the 4 haven't answer any of my calls, today is the last day I’ll try to contact them and if I don't heard back from them I'll start my search for new participants. Meanwhile I have been searching for more books and articles related to the topic. So far one of the books is grabbing my attention it is called "Expressive therapy with Troubled Children", Gussie Klorer describes the process she used with several children in art therapy, although my project has nothing to do with art therapy she point out some interesting factors in art for instance she describes how art has the capacity to heal by means of expressive work. She also mentions that play and art tap into primary process thinking allowing a person specially child to process the event without the censorship or inhabitation of secondary process thinking which could be describe as a sublimation moment in art.She also gives tips on how to work with the participants and how to avoid my personal opinions and ideas in the art of the participants.
