Abstract

The Child Life Program at Blodgett Memorial Medical Center encourages adolescent patients to express themselves either by drawing or writing. This is one of the more exceptional papers that they received, which has helped other patients and even staff members to become more aware of the feelings of confinement. Through the permission of the author, this article was submitted by Jackie Hart in the hope that it may help others outside of their own institution.
