Contenuti

Art and Life are irrevocably tied. Art is a signifier that can provoke infinite attributions of meaning. Can Contemporary Art also heal? Can it help promote psychological well-being and resolve inner distress? Through words and images, in this intimate and scientific diary Rebecca Luciana Russo, a psychotherapist and collector of Contemporary Art, reveals her personal and professional experience. The author defines Videoinsight® as the transformative new awareness triggered by the vision of contemporary artwork. After investigating the relationship between Art and Life, she presents fourteen case studies on the introduction of contemporary video art in psychodiagnostic and psychotherapeutic processes.
