title: Four years later: Clara revisited.
abstract: 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.
