Abstract

The introductory part of the article discusses the symbolic significance of play in the development of the individual and in the development of art and culture. Puppets produced personally by the author from wood are used in psychotherapy and education. Playing with puppets mirrors family relationships, and unconscious conflicts are symbolised. Several sessions in which puppets were the basic means of communication are described.
