ABSTRACT
An art therapist sits in a room with her client, between them a piece of paper-unused as yet. A dance movement therapist and a client are about to enter an improvised sequence of movements together. In a studio a dramatherapist and group stand in a circle, waiting for a theme to emerge. A client in music therapy begins to try out different instruments, passing them to the therapist. Between therapist, client and art form, in each of these situations, is the tension, the space, for something to happen and for change to occur. As we have seen, this ‘potential space’ is at the core of the arts therapies.
