The art therapist and the art therapy client
In order to be a good therapist, you have to understand everything about your client. A good therapist is a social activist that looks at the clients family, friends, views and culture and tries to see what the problems are and tries to change the culture that impacts the client negatively. For most therapist, they are women and mostly white women, however the clients are diverse. To be a good therapist, she or he must look to see how one thing can be imbalanced and change the world of another. "The therapist can keep confidentiality sacrosanct and still reach into the client's world, through the use of Self, perhaps even change it." (Kaplan, 51)
