Margaret Naumburg
1 Jan 1950
Thought to be the earliest of pioneers for art therapy in the US. She was primarily an educator, second a psychotherapist, and third an art therapist. She believed art had an evocative power to unlock repressed material. She believed the process of art therapy is based on the recognition that a person's most fundemental thoughts and feelings are derived from the unconcious reach expression in images rather than words. Florence Cane also worked with her.
