title: [Art therapy and chronic schizophrenia. Reflections on various aspects of social feelings and the creative self].
abstract: The Authors comment on the use of art therapy in a group of institutionalised chronic schizophrenic patients. The aim of these "group interventions" was to encourage the "feeling of belonging" and "creative participation". Artistic expression appears to represent an advantageous method of restoring communication to the schizophrenic.
