Empathy With the Shadow: Engaging and Transforming Difficulties Through Art

Shaun McNiff

Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts

A studio workshop exploring the theme of "empathy with the shadow" demonstrates how the arts and groups can be used to heal and transform personal afflictions. Vulnerabilities and rejected aspects of our personal lives are empathetically embraced as sources of creative energy that suggest approaches to the larger sociopolitical conflicts of the world.

Key Words: art therapy • empathy • shadow • transformation
