Expressive Arts Therapy Association of India Welcomes You
"Psychological suffering is intrinsic to the human condition; in that sense psychopathology is normal. The task of therapy is not to eliminate suffering but to give a voice to it, to find a form in which it can be expressed. Expression is itself transformation; this is the message that art brings."
S. Levine, Poeisis
