Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jane Dossick, BS, has worked in the Psychiatric Daily Group Program, a part of the department of psychiatry of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation. As Activities Therapist, she has developed and implemented a variety of innovative approaches to various group therapies. In her work, she emphasizes the creative arts as a therapeutic tool in helping patients to more freely express themselves. She has more than 32 years of experience with diverse patient populations, including the geriatric and chronically ill, and has also worked with groups of physically disabled young adults to aid them in making the often difficult transition from a lengthy hospitalization to community life. She served as coproducer of The P.O.W., a motion picture dealing with the plight of disabled Vietnam veterans. Ms. Dossick and Mr. Shea coauthored Creative Therapy: 52 Exercises for Groups (Professional Resource Exchange, 1988), Creative Therapy II: 52 More Exercises for Groups (Professional Resource Exchange, 1990), and Creative Therapy III: 52 More Exercises for Groups (Professional Resource Exchange, 1995).Eugene Shea, MSW, LCSW, is Program Director of the Consultation Center Continuing Day Treatment Program at Transitional Services for New York, Inc.
