ABSTRACT
William James wrote, "The greatest discovery of this generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind". That quote was prophetic. The Genogram Analytics software package automatically creates a key in the document for occupation, education, cause of death, disease, psychiatric conditions, etc. In sum, art therapy assessments can range from art-based clinical interviews to observational interviews. Such approaches to assessment typically involve offering patients a variety of directives using both two-and three-dimensional media. Doris Arrington sums up development by stating, "from infants to seniors, humans age at different rates, and therefore chronological age is an imperfect indicator of functional age". In that chapter, Arrington concisely describes the developmental markers in art ranging from preschool to the Thanatos. Baptism, last rites, confirmation, communion, and even prayer are often delegated to the religious leaders.
