Portrait of a Holocaust Child: Memories and Reflections

Portrait tells the true story of Rita Kasimow Brown's experience of hiding in an underground pit from the Nazi death hunt. At once both horrifying and healing, Rita's personal account takes the reader on an inner journey through the workings of the soul as it moves through pain into therapeutic creativity. Imagination and creativity have played a critical role throughout Rita's life, in her work as a psychologist, art therapist, and artist. Through dream interpretation and engaging in dialogue with dream figures based on Jung's method of active imagination, Rita demonstrates powerful techniques for coping with personal trauma. Also included in the book are full-color reproductions of twelve of Rita's fine art paintings.
