Abstract

Otherness has become life threatening for increasing numbers of people. In this editorial the role of art therapy in seeing, knowing, and imagining others more fully and generously is discussed as a counterforce to hate and violence. Art therapy can reduce harm by confronting stereotypes and distortions, and can bridge difference by inviting self-representation into research, public, and political spaces.
