Books by Joy Schaverien

Exploration of erotic transference and counter transference in therapy with particular attention given to the female therapist / male client relationship. Draws on Lacan and Jung to analyse examples from clinical practice and client's art.

This is a book about an analytical approach within art therapy, which may be of interest in itself. The material also raises issues of interest to analysts and psychotherapists, whether or not they work with art in the clinical setting. The book clarifies areas of similarity between the disciplines, and also makes areas of difference apparent.
