This study examines the conjoint drawings of normal latency age identical and fraternal twins in order to illuminate twin dynamics as described in the psychoanalytic literature on twinship. Following a brief discussion of twin psychosexual development, the conjoint drawings of three pairs of identical twins and three pairs of fraternal twins are discussed. The term conjoint refers to the directive to design a picture together.
The Editors and the Editorial Board, of Art Psychotherapy: An International Journal are pleased to present to its readers this Symposium in an attempt to convey their appreciative understanding of the importance for the creative arts scientist to share actively in the sciences' body of sound literature which is rich in its traditional content and in its continuing surge toward experimental validation and emergent empirical excellence. Further, it is an attempt to encourage scholarly contributions from within and without the specialty disciplines of the creative arts sciences and, therefore, restates this Journal's criteria and guidelines for reporting investigative work for publication. Finally, it discusses the relationships and interactions — both in theory and in practice — between art, poetry, dance, and music therapy.
This paper describes the use of a technique termed “heraldic art therapy”. The approach to treatment was utilized in conjunction with individual psychotherapy in the treatment of mild to moderately disturbed patients having difficulty establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships and group affiliations. Seventeen patients in an outpatient mental health clinic were selected for participation in the weekly heraldic art therapy group. Fourteen members remained in the group for 15 months and three members withdrew from the group rather early. The paper highlights the major group emphasis and assignments, as well as the direction and course of one patient's response to treatment. It was concluded that the dual treatment design appeared to be remarkably helpful to the patients in addressing and reducing problems in individual and group functioning.
