Image to Cope Assignment
Stage 1: Drawing of a Stressful Situation
Interpretation of the Image
My parents divorced a year ago, and since then, I have been feeling forgotten. It is like
everyone is near me, but no one is around me or with me. My father lives three hours away because
we moved to a new place. He is always at a distance and not here when I need him. My mother
found a new partner, and things have been going great. She looks happy when he is around, and I
don't want to make her sad by telling her about the bullying in school. This makes me feel isolated
and unloved, so I have been unhappy.
Stage 2: Compositional Explanation of the Image
This image captures the psychological dynamics- stress reaction of an eight-year-old boy
dealing with psychological distress following the separation and divorce of his parents.
Image Focus and Shape
The boy’s image is centrally and significantly placed, signifying the central role he
considers himself to play in the process. The boy finds himself the most affected by the divorce.
