Gilligan (1996) noted trauma begins in the home and spreads out across all communities. Harris, Kalb, and Klebanoff (2018) noted that “ghosts” in the consultation room echo traumas from early childhood, leading to a shutting down of the emotional self which often appears in psychoanalyses. Some of these children as adults become forensic psychotherapy patients. Some are stuck in their psychotherapies for years and are unable to disclose truths about themselves. Their therapists may also feel empty and dread the sessions. The use of art as part of right-brain psychotherapy (Schore, 2019b) can overcome verbal resistance in the patient and negative countertransference in the therapist.
