Review:

“This book offers a most interesting view of the application of the squiggles game outside the context of therapeutic consultations. Gunter works with a patient population that is seldom seen in the ordinary consulting room or clinic and his keen interest and expertise in combining the fields of art and psychodynamic insight makes for very instructive reading.”
