Book Synopsis
Mirrors of the Mind 2: The Psychotherapist as Artist celebrates creativity and the power of art to create empathy and enrich understanding of psychology and psychotherapy through unique perspectives of psychotherapists. This exhibition book was produced by the Los Angeles County Psychological Association (LACPA) and contains the art and accompanying artist statements exhibited at Art Share LA, Los Angeles, from November 23 through December 1, 2013. Forty-nine psychotherapist artists are represented in these pages. Mirrors of the Mind 2 continues exploring how psychotherapists use their creativity to cross-fertilize, heal, rail against, and renew through self-expression. The art and the artist self-reflections provide a rare opportunity for colleagues and the community at large to explore with the artists a variety of themes ranging from mental illness, loss, social protest, parenting, spirituality and reverence in the human connection with nature.
