Abstract
- Pediatric palliative care is a comprehensive treatment approach (physical, psychological, social, spiritual) for children living with life-threatening conditions. These patients and siblings, as well as children of ill parents, face extraordinary psychological challenges. Structured art techniques incorporated into psychotherapy can be powerful for children dealing with life-and-death realities. This article provides the rationale, instructions, and examples for 3 techniques that the author has adapted for children facing illness and bereavement. Although these art techniques are simple to administer, they frequently evoke complex and powerful responses and thus are intended for use by or in consultation with mental health professionals.<br /> (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
