Creative Destruction and Transformation in Art and Therapy: Reframing, Reforming, Reclaiming

Abstract

This article presents a therapeutic framework to examine the continuum of creative destruction to transformation through altered book making. The rebuilding of a printed book parallels desired changes that bring individuals to art therapy, including concepts related to reframing, reforming, and reclaiming. The relationship between creative destruction and reconstruction is fundamental to art therapy methods and materials. Case examples highlight the role of destruction-transformation in art therapy and how its process can empower clients to experience insight and growth.
