ABSTRACT
This chapter presents clinical intervention techniques, presents three exercises for the parent and child in a joint drawing space. These intervention techniques provide a particularly intimate encounter that sometimes leads to the blurring of interpersonal boundaries and can spark fun and playfulness. Much like the techniques that have been addressed thus far, the joint interactive spaces facilitate types of encounters that differ in terms of their levels of cooperation, models of leadership, and the way in which participants relate to each other. Working on a joint painting without the use of words is one of the basic techniques of art therapy. This technique offers the parent and child an opportunity to renounce their familiar space of verbal communication, and create a nonverbal form of interaction with the use of colors that can be recorded on the page. The various stages of the exercise offer several encounters in the interpersonal space.
