ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the psychotherapy, by means of art therapy, of a young boy manifesting the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Conduct Disorder. It also presents the case of Shahar. According to the parents’ report, Shahar’s difficulties began when he was placed in a small day-care setting at the age of a year and eleven months, and they became progressively worse. From the start it was clear that Shahar was unable to work sitting at the table, and he needed the entire space of the art therapy room. Shahar demanded that the therapist, like his mother at home, allow him to use a box cutter in order to cut cardboard. Shahar began to organize his play around the topic of the “bad guys” against the “good guys”. Despite his anger, impulsiveness and initially being very demanding, he responded well to limit-setting, and there was never a need to restrain him physically.
