MODULE 12 - CONSIDERING NEUROSCIENCE AND ART THERAPY

This image was taken in Afghanistan with permission. I remember these sisters so well. I have contemplated the traumatized child and traumatized mind for years now. The neuroscience of the brain is so fascinating. I submit this image as a response to my readings this week.

Module 12 - Current Trends

Adults interpret the actions, words, and expressions of children through the distorting filter of their own beliefs. In the lives of most infants and children, these common adult misinterpretations are relatively benign. When children have been traumatized these misinterpretations can be destructive. Perry et al. (1995)

I have been greatly impacted by the work of Dr. Bruce Perry. Dr Perry is the Senior Fellow of the ChildTrauma Academy in Houston, Texas and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Science at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago.
