Yes You Can!
Description
By creating art, a person symbolically re-creates him- or herself and begins to put the pieces back together, says Mickie McGraw, cofounder of the Art Therapy Studio, the oldest expressive-arts clinic of its kind in the U.S. This program profiles McGraw and cofounder Dr. George Street, a psychoanalyst who was also an artist, and the unique approach they developed to assist people with disabilities by using art therapy. McGraw discusses her childhood bout with polio and how it shaped her subsequent career goals, while supporters and patients comment on the impact of the Art Therapy Studio, which has become a model for expressive arts programs around the world.
