During psychologist working with children often use the means of graphic activity: painting, gouache, plasticine.Creating images of children spontaneously share those problems that are not yet aware, and sealed in their fantasies in the form of symbols.Child psychologist offers kids draw or sculpt the characters in the movie, or the works of their own imaginations, that they like the most.Often in a box is not enough green or brown clay from which to create a character, and sometimes none at all hues that preschooler would like to portray.Therefore, the expert has to know how to get brown or orange, mixing the available colors.
Case Study psychologist
In the process of psychological work with a closed girl 7 years, it became known that she had six months asking their parents to buy her a monkey as a pet.Persuasion mom and dad's explanations about that brother is allergic to all kinds of animals, did not help.The girl took offense and closes more.This lesson psychologist asked the girl to tell: what a monkey she would like?Large or small?Boy or girl?What would she do with a monkey house?The girl decided to slap a monkey out of plasticine.The psychologist helped her, kneading clay and making recommendations on the baby's torso or legs of the animal.By mid-brown clay classes ended and work was unfinished.Together they came to the decision of how to make brown clay of the remaining bars and the red clay mixed with small amounts of black.In the process of modeling talked a lot about different monkeys, their way of life.It was clear that the shy and modest girl jealous of monkeys - so free to express themselves, so active in the movements and as flexible as a gymnast.
the next lesson, the parents complained that little girl at home for yourself unusually capricious, when it was necessary to go to bed, take offense at close, behaved aggressively, if something did not like.Together with his parents had made assumptions about what dreaming about the monkey, but without her daughter start to present themselves monkey, showing all the qualities that were listed at the last session.Together with a psychologist, she decided to pursue modeling, but now the monkey on a tree eats banana, jumping from branch to branch.Talk now has been directed at how to bring this monkey who does not listen and does what she likes.In order not to be distracted from the topic of psychological work, had to mix clay for the manufacture of wood, t. To. Again it took a long brown material.Through trial and error, not knowing how to get brown, have tried to mix red and green clay in equal proportions.It quickly got a big lump of brown, from which it could make a tree, or even a little more left.However monkey praised for what she eats a healthy and nutritious food (bananas and other exotic fruits), that not only is jumping on the trees, but also listen to the hostess, and its flexibility and activity can be hard in school sports.
Gradually, the girl learned to control her "inner monkey", the image of which sculpted and brought together, they have become increasingly successful at home and at the gym.At a subsequent sessions again felt the need to sculpt a monkey, and this is where a psychologist was confused: there was no longer red or green or black clay, and the need to mold the whole family of monkeys at the girl manifested impatiently and sharply enough.Thinking how to get brown, decided to mix orange and gray.The result is not as dark as I would like, but adding a little blue, the result is still blinded a whole family of brown monkeys.This time the girl to solve family problems, discussing the behavior of monkeys and apes, parents-children.The psychologist helped her find the right approach to communicating with his brother, father and mother without loss of activity, not confining and not hiding in his room.
psychologist does not attempt to teach a child to mix colors, does not teach how to get the brown paint at Larger pictures or lack of colors.The main is to work with the images, which can be very attractive to the child and by means of which he could resolve their pressing problems.Yet this knowledge involuntarily laid at the children, and they, in addition to the psychological work on oneself, get more knowledge about how to get brown or how to cut a snowflake, how to make rain in a glass jar or folded paper boat.Knowledge is repeated at home or in kindergarten demonstrates friends that further gives confidence to any child.
