Online workshop for psychologists, psychotherapists and art therapists.

Teacher: Francesca Belgiojoso

6-hour training on collage-making and its therapeutic applications. 

Collage is a versatile tool that can be seamlessly integrated into your therapeutic practice, providing new avenues for exploration and self-expression for your clients

Collage-making is a powerful, non-verbal method that taps into the unconscious, allowing clients to express emotions, explore inner conflicts, and make connections in a visual and intuitive way.

Using a combination of found images and personal photos, collage bypasses the defenses of verbal communication, fostering a deeper self-awareness and insight.

It is particularly effective in groups, where the act of creating and sharing collage pieces can enhance group cohesion and facilitate discussions about shared and divergent experiences.

• For clients who struggle with verbal expression, collage provides a different medium for storytelling and personal narrative.
• The process of selecting, combining, and arranging images often leads to unexpected connections and insights that can be revealing for both the therapist and the client.
• Collage-making brings an element of play, which can help reduce anxiety and foster a more open and explorative mindset in the therapeutic space.
• In a group context, the playful and creative element of collage makes the process more engaging, reducing resistance or anxiety related to direct verbal confrontation. This can help bring out less explicit voices within the group.

An introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of collage-making, exploring its roots in psychodynamic concepts.

This allows therapists to experience first-hand how personal images can evoke deep emotional responses and serve as catalysts for exploration.

Participants will create their own collages in a group setting, experiencing the therapeutic process from a client’s perspective.

Participants share their collages and reflect on the process. We will explore how themes and narratives emerge organically through the work.

A discussion on the use of collage in group therapy settings, how to facilitate the process, manage dynamics, and integrate collage work into therapeutic or training interventions. 

A final session focusing on how to effectively use collage in different therapeutic contexts and with diverse client populations.
