Based on published literature and the author's experiences as a therapist, it illustrates how knowledge of neurological functioning can be used to therapeutic advantage with art therapy clients. Case examples reveal that providing clients with a basic understanding of how theirbrains work and helping them translate this into the language of art can break through stalemates and advance treatment.
