Abstract:
A psychotherapeutic doll comprising a substantially featureless soft body and head, and with disproportionately long arms and legs, is disclosed. The patient is provided with a plurality of face elements, each attachable to the head of the doll by way of an elastic band, so that the patient can express emotional states at a selected age in his life. Multiple face elements may be simultaneously attached to the head portion to convey and portray one emotional state hidden by another. The doll preferably includes a backpack with a transparent pocket, to allow the patient to indicate the age currently being projected onto the doll; multiple pockets can allow for multiple ages to be indicated, thus providing the patient with the ability to convey an emotional history.
