Art therapy consists of making conscious repressed disturbing feelings and re-evaluating the expression of such feelings in the light of newly gained insight. Mixed groups of eight men and women illustrate how this process is enhanced in a group. The presence of others gives reassurance because observation is not focused on one patient alone, because other attitudes than one's own can be demonstrated, and because it is found that others have similar difficulties. In many instances latent homosexuality was replaced by heterosexuality; inertia and depression lessened; and integration of personality occurred.
