ABSTRACT

This chapter explains the second phase of three-part intensive block art therapy training in Bulgaria. Being an interactive course, however, the situation gave rise to material which could be used in the groups. There was some hostility between these different groups of participants. The course started late on the Monday morning due to accommodation and transport problems. And none of the Sofia participants were arrived because of their accommodation problems. Everyone fell on the suggestion and the group worked feverishly for the rest of the workshop. The resulting painting was very violent and the Greek visitors had been thoroughly destroyed. The event had aroused memories of old conflicts with Greeks. On the final day, the group decided to make an image of a woman who was going to travel to the West. It was a powerful example of the image taking one over, or, technically, of projective identification.
