The research process illustrates the interaction between the therapist and the neuropsychological
impaired client in the therapeutic context where we utilised drawing and painting as a creative
medium I descn'be the interaction from a systems paradigm New paradigm research is used as
the researcher is included in the research findings. The focus is on new meanings that the
therapist and clients generated. Three case studies are descn'bed in this study. A circular
description is given of the use of drawing and painting in therapy. The losses that the clients
suffer are described and explained to make sense of the interaction. The use of art is described
and incorporated in the therapeutic process as creative exercises were important ways to connect
with the clients. This study illustrates that creativity should always be part of the therapeutic
endeavour, especially when understanding the verbal expression of the client is difficult. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
