Is there a place for outlier art in psychotherapy? Creative Arts Therapist Enrico Curreri and writer Chris Becker will describe and discuss how Curreri has applied the working methods of painter Jean-Michel Basquiat and writer William Burroughs – two of the most influential and controversial artists of the 20th century – in the treatment of adolescent psychiatric patients carrying different diagnoses, including major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and childhood-onset schizophrenia. Discover how the groundbreaking work of Basquiat and Burroughs has helped Curreri’s patients free themselves from feelings of depression and helplessness, and move into a state of healing and self-compassion.
