Expressing the Inexpressible
By Thérèse Woodcock
Dr Margaret Lowenfeld was one of the 20th century’s pioneers of psychology and child psychotherapy. Her distinctive contribution to the field was based not only on her view of the primacy of communication in our understanding of each other, but the fact that our thoughts and feelings about our personal experiences are not adequately captured by words alone. This led directly to her development of the Mosaics and World/sandplay techniques, both non-verbal multidimensional expressive tools which underpin her approach to psychotherapy.
