Portraiture in art therapy

By Cornelia Kestner

For many years, I have been exploring the human face in my artistic work. Sometimes I used photographs, sometimes someone sat for me so that they could hang the picture in their home or give it away as a gift. Occasionally, I used a friend's face as inspiration for a theme I was working on. When I began painting patients in an art therapy setting, I wondered how the process of portraiture might influence the relationship between therapist and patient and when this method might be problematic.
