Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the connection between art and personality, this book analyzes the artwork of a diverse group of students alongside in-depth clinical interviews. It reveals how individual styles reflect inner lives, interpersonal relationships, and emotional states. By categorizing images into seven types through cluster analysis, it demonstrates that artistic expression varies based on personal motivations—ranging from compensatory longings to a need for control and integration. The findings highlight that artistic style serves as a map of each participant's emotional landscape.
