Abstract
This brief and introductory paper is not intended to deal with the complexities, details, and technicalities of the field of art therapy and personal transformation. More in-depth articles are available from other sources, including other articles I have written. Rather, I will give the reader an overall feel of what I have come to call the essence and principles of art therapy and its facilitation of personal transformation. The focus of my discussion will be on how the drawing out of fear and terror can have a healing effect.
