Meaning-Based Approach to Art Therapy
«
"This book traces the beginnings of logotherapy and explores its intersection with art therapy. Dr. Hlavek’s work reminds us that amid the unimaginable circumstances of the Holocaust, the arts emerged as a humanizing force. In the face of horrific suffering artists asserted their ability to respond with courageous creatively. As such, it is a testament to the healing power of art, then and now."

"This innovative book brilliantly explores the connection between art and the Holocaust. Interviewing surviving artists, Dr Hlavek explores the creative experience to understand how victims found meaning in suffering, and makes an invaluable contribution to Holocaust education, art and art therapy."
Hana Bor, PhD
"In this extraordinary book, Dr. Hlavek brings us with her on a deeply impactful yet ultimately hopeful journey into the meaning of artwork created by Holocaust victims. With crystal-clear writing, Dr. Hlavek presents her extensive scholarship and research into the use of artmaking in the face of death and horror. She shares how those who made art during captivity in the Holocaust documented both atrocities and kindnesses, upheld a sense of personhood, found purpose and meaning, and ultimately preserved hope for themselves and us all. Dr. Hlavek’s perspective spans beyond individual trauma to provide an existential affirmation of existence and what truly defines us as human."
