Hidden Meanings in Everyday Activities
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Fidler and Velde provide a fine analysis of symbolic meanings in ordinary activities such as crafts, arts, careers, sports, and outdoor activities. For example, think about the Aids Memorial Quilt; why a quilt to show the grief of this nation? While you may feel the answer, these authors clarify this innate knowing with words. I had my highlighter out a lot (I'm a therapist, not a student) and the information in this book allows me to prescribe activity more confidently based on the patient's spiritual needs as well as physical needs. A therapeutic goldmine.
