ABSTRACT
The idea of using all of the arts in therapy provokes fear in some and excitement in others. Perhaps this discrepancy is connected to the way in which the reputation of the mythic figure Pandora, the “all-giver,” changed from being the source of bounteous gifts to the cause of pandemonium (Gaskell, 1960; Walker, 1983). Pandora’s “many things” came to be perceived as “too much.” The word pandemonium (pan, demonium), meaning the universal release of daimons/spirits, became associated with a state of being overwhelmed.
