Abstract
The spontaneous drawings and paintings of a young male drug addict represent his psychedelic experiences in a symbolic and abstract way. Intrapersonal complexes and later the patient's critical confrontation with the injuries done by drugs find expression in his symbolic, abstract and surrealistic pictorial works. This artistic creativity is considered as catharsis with 'auto-therapeutic effect'.
