- Title
Volts of Connection: Visual Case Studies Revisited.
- Authors
Bertman, Sandra L.
- Abstract
Suggesting a variety of techniques appropriate for monitoring and exercising our own therapeutic imaginations, in "Volts of Connection: The arts as shock therapy", the author argued for the use of evocative images other than solely the decorative, innocuous and "pretty" in clinical settings. Using a painting as a visual case study, this article documents the benefits of reflective writing as it acknowledges and reveals the arts' amazing abilities to pierce the isolating yet protective and appropriate silences with which grief shrouds us. It also helps connect us to others, in their grief and their silence, letting us share others' feelings without intruding on them.
