How and why readers can use art procedures to assess and develop cognitive skills and emotional strengths. This fourth, revised edition updates research studies using the procedures.

“The whys and wherefores regarding the use of art with children who have communication problems in general and hearing impairments in particular. Silver’s book has become a classic in this area.”

Formed during thirty-five years of study, Goldberg has developed the art of psychological sculpting. His theory is that an individual should not be “changed” or “fixed,” but rather the process must be like the art of sculpting stone. Spirit and Form includes a detailed analysis of how this process of articulation, as the principle of spiritual fulfillment, personal happiness, and mental health, is either cultivated or thwarted. Goldberg emphasizes the critical distinction between the psychological impact of didactic and dialectical relationships and the artificiality of the distinction between the psychological and the spiritual.

In Spirit and Form, Goldberg proposes a new model of human consciousness which revolutionizes the traditional model and obviates many of its conceptual problems. The occlusive layers of extrinsic thoughts, feelings, ambitions, and self-assessments that have peripheralized the individual are to be “chipped away,” or subtracted from the equation, allowing the light of the true form or individuality to be revealed and seek its course of outward expression.

The Autism Spectrum affects over 500,000 people nationwide and the numbers are inexplicably growing. Chase of a Lifetime details the progress of an autistic child, barely able to function in a supportive preschool class, culminating in his emergence as a confident third grader. This book includes strategies for securing the appropriate educational placement for a child from preschool through third grade, including an Appendix of written Individual Education Plan (IEP) goals for each year. The Appendix also includes invaluable resources such as samples of insurance letters, modification ideas, and social stories that worked on very common and difficult areas of concern.
