This chapter looks at the role of art therapy in family support work in a children's hospice. It starts by describing the client-centred philosophy of the hospice and the varied style and content of interventions offered to clients. It describes the use of "memory-making" techniques, such as photos, stories, scrapbooks, and momentos. Several case studies show how these techniques are used in different situations and show how art therapy and image-making can link past, present and future.
