One comment on “Interior Design: An Intervention in the Therapy Setting”
USA:
It was an interesting read. There were several opinions or perspectives that run contrary to my training.
Nonetheless a good piece to use with new therapists as office design, it’s communications (conscious and unconscious) and symbolism are rarely discussed.
Thank you
