In most individual fashion she has employed artistic expression both in diagnosis and treatment of various kinds of psychiatric disorders. Unlike most of the workers who preceded her, she has not attempted merely to interpret the symbolic meaning in the art productions of patients, but she has used artistic expression in purposeful fashion to explore the conscious and unconscious causes of illness toward the aim of therapeutic release and recover." #01382.
