A Comparison of the Ideas of Margaret Naumburg and Edith Kramer
This paper will examine the ideas and theories of two eminent artists, therapists and founding mothers of the field of Art Therapy. These individuals are Margaret Naumburg and Edith Kramer. Both, in their own way, have contributed to the emergence, and legitimization of the field of Art Therapy. In this paper, we will focus on the more theoretical aspects of the field, as well as the implications of these theories. We will draw on the ideas of other thinkers, who have contributed to the thoughts of both Naumburg and Kramer, and we will look deeply at the thoughts of each individually, before we spend some time comparing them.
