ABSTRACT
Children express anger in a variety of ways, such as acting out, fighting with peers, throwing tantrums, becoming defiant, and so on. At times it is extremely difficult for the child or other family members to express anger at all. It is important to note that the children, entire family, and therapist should already have established a joined relationship through doing other quiet activities, such as drawing pictures, before the therapist begins to expect the clients to express anger verbally. It promotes the therapeutic relationship with the child, which ultimately will encourage the child to confide in the clinician, another safe way of expressing anger. It may also be wise for the therapist and children to discuss which aspects of the collage they are willing to share with their parents, if the children are doing the collage without the parents in the room.
