Four years later: Clara revisited.
OBJECTIVE
The use of art therapy to treat post-traumatic response.


OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate through the use of a case presentation ways in which art therapy can be used to facilitate healing from post-traumatic response.


METHODS
The author's own clinical work.


CONCLUSIONS
The healing process for individuals experiencing post-traumatic response does not end with the formal termination of therapy. It may need to be supplemented with support and follow-up, short-term therapy episodes. Healing can be facilitated by art therapy, which provides a useful medium for identifying and exploring changes in self-concept, behaviors, and feelings.
