| Zusammenfassung: | The purpose of
the present study was to explore the use of guided imagery as a tool to
facilitate the expression of children's grief. The children in the
study were participating in open-ended, age specific, grief groups. Nine
children participated in pre and post drawings. The Rosebush drawing itself and
the feelings engendered by drawing appeared to be the most important element in
assessing change. At discharge, the children's drawings showed greater
integration. It was concluded that the Rosebush technique can be an aid in
understanding the grief process of the child. |
