EDUCATION,
ART AND THERAPY USING PUPPETS
This article was presented by three
Japanese professionalists in special education. Based upon their own long
experience in using puppets in practice they explored in a scientific way the
influence of art in the education of disabled persons and in diving support to
the process of "giving sense" to the surrounding. They explained the
concept of art-therapy and put an accent on the role of the puppet as a
mediator in the educational process. There were few case-studies of their
clinical practice given, which conferred the usefulness of puppet therapy
method in the education of handicapped children.
