Vom Rambo-Jesus zu einer gut integrierten Mannlichkeit. Welter, N. Praxis der Kinderpsychologie und Kinderpsychiatrie, 54(1):37–58, Germany, 2005.
abstract   bibtex   
The contribution deals with drawings of an eleven year old boy. He is in the transitional phase from preadolescence to adolescence. The atmosphere at home is very aggressive due to the prolonged divorce of his parents, which has been going on for three years. Because of this the typical development in this phase of growing up is made much more difficult for him. The youngster finds himself in an intensive loyality conflict with his parents. In his opinion any kind of aggression is negatively connoted. Therefore he cannot use his aggressions in a positive way neither to promote his self-development nor to become independent. His ability to symbolize was initially inhibited and could be released in the act of drawing during therapy. The boy's way from denial to showing his inner conflicts is described in the contribution.
